Abstract

Due to the rising crime rate and the substantial augmentation in public awareness of self-defense in recent years, many people show the propensity to carry defensive items with them. The jewelry industry has also followed this trend in due course. As a relatively personalized self-defense tool, defensive jewelry shares a stepwise occupation in the market. Various products featuring novel shapes, convenient applications, and ingenious designs can thus be sought out. In parallel with the rapid growth of its market, there remain many problems with the existing products. They should be taken under consideration and then be carefully solved or at least alleviated. Otherwise, their future is very likely to be shackled. This paper will precisely center around the design concepts and the potential problems of defensive jewelry. The author will interview certain persons, review relevant figures, search for existing research, publish questionnaires, and subsequently analyze the survey results. All the conclusions will be drawn from and built upon the work already carried out in this field. In addition, the author will also propose some measures and suggestions for facilitating the status quo.
