# Tech-Infused Jewelry These Rebecca Minkoff Jewelry Bracelets Double Up as Tech Gadgets By M | Published 2014-08-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebecca-minkoff-jewelry References: [fashionista](http://fashionista.com/2014/08/rebecca-minkoff-wearble-tech) & [rebeccaminkoff](http://www.rebeccaminkoff.com/) The latest Rebecca Minkoff jewelry line features a slew of [innovative bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilink-titanium-multifunction-edc-bracelet) that look stylish when worn but actually double up as useful tech gadgets. This is a great example of fashion making technology super chic for the modern-day consumer. Many of us often carry around tech gadgets like smartphone chargers in our bands in case we need to power up while on-the-go. Designer Rebecca Minkoff creatively found a way to make these tech necessities wearable so that consumers could carry them around in a fashionable way. For example, the [charging bracelet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-charging-band) is a sleek black studded silicone cuff that rolls out into a fully functional phone charger. While the collection only currently has two pieces, I'm sure more innovative tech-infused pieces are on their way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tech-fashion Integration:** The Rebecca Minkoff jewelry line demonstrates the trend of integrating technology into fashionable accessories. - **Wearable Tech as Fashion Statements:** Tech-infused jewelry like the Rebecca Minkoff bracelets exemplify the trend of using wearable technology as a fashion statement. - **Functional Fashion Accessories:** The tech-infused bracelets by Rebecca Minkoff showcase the trend of creating fashion accessories that serve practical purposes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion brands and retailers can explore the opportunity to create tech-infused accessories that combine fashion and functionality. - **Technology Gadgets:** Tech companies can consider collaborations with fashion brands to develop stylish yet functional gadgets. - **Wearable Technology:** The trend of incorporating technology into fashion accessories opens up opportunities for companies in the wearable tech industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist AI Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-ai-jewelry.md) - [Nostalgic Fashion-Tech Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-and-android.md) - [Tech-Infused Jewelry Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-slac.md) - [Technologically Enhanced Electronic Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-handbags.md) - [Self-Charging Fitness Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mother-bracelet.md) - [Vibrant Lanyard Charging Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanyard-charging.md) - [Kinetic Power Health Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-bracelet.md) - [Beach-Inspired Phone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets-x-electric-picks.md) - [Fashion-Forward Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openear-earbud-concept.md)
