# Illegal Gun Jewelry The MTV x Caliber Bracelet is Backed by Snoop Lion By Meghan Young | Published 2013-04-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mtv-x-caliber-bracelet References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2013/04/snoop-lion-gun-bracelets.html) & [jewelryforacause.net](http://www.jewelryforacause.net/mtv-2/caliber-mtv-bracelet) The MTV x Caliber bracelet is yet another project by Jewelry for a Cause to help get illegal guns off of the streets. A special and limited edition of the larger [Caliber Collection](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gun-buyback-program), it has been engraved with the unique serial number of an illegal firearm turned in to the Newark Police Department during a recent gun buyback. Backed by Snoop Lion, who recently released the No Guns Allowed music video, the MTV x Caliber bracelet is especially in line with his belief system. Perfect for both [men and women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empowering-jewelry), proceeds from every purchase will be donated to the Newark Police Department to help fund future gun buyback amnesty programs. Anything will help bring change. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Illegal Gun Jewelry:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Exploring the market for jewelry made from illegal guns, providing an alternative use for confiscated firearms while supporting law enforcement initiatives. - **Socially Conscious Accessories:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Creating fashion accessories that not only make a statement but also support social causes, encouraging consumers to engage in philanthropy through their purchases. - **Celebrity-driven Social Movements:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Collaborating with influential personalities to raise awareness and drive change in important societal issues, leveraging their fan base for social impact. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Developing new and innovative accessories that combine fashion with social advocacy to appeal to conscious consumers. - **Law Enforcement:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Creating partnerships and initiatives between businesses and law enforcement agencies to address social issues and contribute to public safety. - **Fundraising:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Finding innovative ways to raise funds for social causes by leveraging existing consumer behaviors and creating unique and appealing products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaboration Artist Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steven-harrington-and-good-art-hlywd.md) - [Rapper Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pav-nite.md) - [Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olaeda-hopeful-heart-bracelet-for-breast-cancer-awareness.md) - [Collaborative Ice Cream Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-ice-cream.md) - [Outdoor Label-Created Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maria-black-1.md) - [Crayon-Themed Arm Cuffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-full.md) - [Streetwear Brand Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stssy-jewelry-line.md) - [Women-Empowering Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womenempowering-jewelry.md) - [Empowering Marijuana-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-x-jacquie-aiche.md)
