# Historical War Fashions The ‘War of 1812’ Jewelry is for the Chic Crusader By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-06-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/war-of-1812-jewelry References: [digbyandiona](http://digbyandiona.com/collections/war-eighteen-twelve) The ‘War of 1812’ Jewelry by Digby & Iona is a chic homage to the War between America and Britain in 1812. The war itself helped both the United States and Canada define themselves as growingly independent and self-sufficient, and has since been held in high esteem by both countries. The jewelry has a vintage look to it that plays on popular war phrases. The “Don’t Give up the Ship” and “If I Tell You, I Have to Kill You” rings coupled with the “Remember Me When This You See” necklace gives the collection an at-sea vibe, as most of the battle was fought on the Atlantic. The nautical-inspired pendants, rings and bracelets are a chic way to show some historical knowledge and rock some patriotic apparel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Historical Fashion:** The demand for unique, vintage and historical fashion items continue to grow as more consumers seek unique ways to consume fashion - **Nautical-inspired Jewelry:** The incorporation of nautical themes in fashion items, especially in jewelry, is becoming popular and shows potential for disruption in the jewelry industry - **Patriotic Apparel:** The trend of expressing national pride through clothing and accessories is growing, creating a market for patriotic wearables ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The trend for historical fashion items and patriotic apparel offers opportunities for fashion industry players to create unique products and cater to growing consumer demand - **Jewelry Industry:** The trend for nautical-inspired jewelry creates an opportunity for innovation and disruption in the jewelry industry as more consumers steer towards unique and vintage fashion items - **E-commerce:** The growing demand for unique and vintage fashion items is causing a shift to e-commerce as more players in the fashion industry move towards online platforms to reach a wider audience ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk History Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Material Memory Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/normandie-1944.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md) - [Romantic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-heart-love-link-necklace.md) - [Empowering Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empowering-jewelry.md) - [Elegant Women's Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-jewelry1.md) - [Luxurious Handmade Jewelry Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-handmade-jewelry.md) - [War Boat-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkirk-watch.md)
