# Feminine Skeleton Rings Violet Darkling Adds Some Girlish Glamor to Dark Themes By Allison Love | Published 2010-07-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/violet-darkling References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/32155/) & [violetdarkling](http://www.violetdarkling.com/index.php/treasures) Violet Darkling is the perfect brand for those girls who love the skull treatment, but like to keep their girlish flavor. This series of jewelry features [rings and necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu) with animal and human skulls, all accented with cute bows. The eyes on the skulls are oversized, which make them look little less creepy and a little more cutesy. I love the idea of putting [diamonds and bows on skulls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice); it makes for a very interesting piece of jewelry, not to mention a bit culturally confused! Violet Darkling is the perfect jewelry brand for girlish edge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Skull-themed Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new design possibilities by incorporating playful elements like cute bows and oversized eyes on skull-themed jewelry. - **Animal-inspired Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a unique line of jewelry by adding animal skulls to accessories, combining edgy and whimsical aesthetics. - **Culturally Confused Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with blending cultural motifs to create intriguing and thought-provoking jewelry that challenges traditional notions of beauty and style. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine the fashion jewelry market by introducing unconventional designs that appeal to individuals seeking edgy and unique pieces. - **Alternative Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Cater to the growing demand for alternative fashion by offering skull-themed accessories that blend girlish elements with dark aesthetics. - **Luxury Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into the luxury accessories market by creating high-end skull-themed jewelry that combines elegance with unconventional design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Halloween-Themed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-halloween-jewelry.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md) - [Subtle Face Jewel Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-bijoux.md) - [Coffin-Shaped Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-shaped-engagement-rings.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [Symbolic Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protect-collection.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md)
