# UPC Code Bracelets Giorgio Bonaguro's Bar Code Bracelet Can be Individually Customized By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-09-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-code-bracelet References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/style/giorgio-bonaguro-cuffs.php) & [bonagurogiorgio](http://www.bonagurogiorgio.com/2013/08/italian-design-meets-jewellery.html) This [bar code bracelet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fazer-remix-30th-anniversary-candy-bag) by Italian designer Giorgio Bonaguro takes inspiration from the UPC codes that are found on the backs of products in the store. Just as each code is totally unique for each product, the 'Personal Code' bracelet is designed so that each one can be slightly different for every individual. Rather than being chunky and black and white, the bracelet is a sophisticated take on the look of a bar code, mimicking the repeated lines of a bar code with a number of [thin silver bands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ming-polymesh). Although this look could be achieved by wearing multiple bangles, the design of this [cuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elsa-peretti1) keeps each band spaced out and secure. Since each bracelet could be altered subtly from person to person, the changes are subtly, there are an infinite number of combinations that could be made. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customized Jewelry:** Using personalized designs in jewelry allows for unique and individual expressions. - **Sophisticated Bar Code Aesthetics:** Incorporating the sleek and repetitive lines of bar codes into fashion creates a modern and edgy look. - **Secure and Spaced-out Cuff Design:** Creating a cuff bracelet that securely holds spaced-out bands adds a unique element of functionality and style. ### Where This Applies - **Jewelry:** Customized jewelry trends offer opportunities for innovative designs and personalized experiences. - **Fashion:** Integrating bar code aesthetics into fashion products opens up new possibilities for creative and novel designs. - **Accessories:** Designing secure and spaced-out cuff bracelets introduces an innovative approach to accessory design and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Leather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plik-1.md) - [Tribal Art-Inspired Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bharata.md) - [Personalized Jewelry Cuffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/name-drop-cuff.md) - [Glam Bracelet-Making Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-bracelet-kit.md) - [Luxurious Safety Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-safety-bracelet.md) - [Crayon-Themed Arm Cuffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-full.md) - [Iconic Jewelry Cuff Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elsa-peretti1.md) - [Customizable Beaded Touch Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-bracelet.md) - [App-Customized Arm Braces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appcustomized-arm-braces-the-brace-elbow-brace-by-nils-sorger-is-3d-printed.md)
