Australia’s Daily Telegraph reports on SPUD’s (Single Person Urban Dwelling) as a growing consumer force in Australia. Two interesting reflections of this global trend are the introduction of a glossy magazine just for singles in Los Angeles, and Singelringen, a ring for singles.
Singular Magazine celebrates the interests and lifestyles of 30+ college educated singles in Los Angeles.
Singelringen (”The Single Ring” in Swedish) is a unisex ring that reminds the single wearer they are already complete; while open to possibilities. The ring features a turquoise acrylic layer shining over a sterling silver band engraved with “made in Sweden” and a unique registration number that provides access to the Singelringen Global Community. Singelringen is worn by more than 150,000 singles in 20+ countries around the world.
