Nowadays, the world has an unprecedented rate of technology development which seeps into every aspect of our lives. Jewelry is one of the primary forms of human creativity and fashion so it is bound to evolve too. The traditional jewelry forms are slowly giving way to their more modern digital counterparts which don’t fail to surprise even young consumers. What’s more, innovative jewelry engineers are coming with ways to enhance both functionality and aesthetic properties. Such a combination ensures the best possible result for digitally inclined customers. There will be no more compromises between jewelry’s practicality and its beauty. Let’s see how different types of pieces are evolving and what useful purposes they can serve.
Smart Rings: Why Choose Cumbersome Personal Assistants If You Can Put Them on Your Finger?
We’ve all heard about fitness bracelets and activity trackers. But what if this technology could fit into your stylish ring without sacrificing quality? Such products already exist on the market and they are as helpful as individual wellness coaches. This elegant piece of wearable technology provides a smart and stylish way to stay on top of your health state. AI software will collect the data transferred by highly precise sensors registering body temperature, heart rate, and your sleep tendencies. Such devices are able to memorize all the data and compile useful statistics that can actually help you enhance your health.
Think of all the saved people who get notified in advance about their unusual cardiac activity even before they feel that something is off! The rings’ sleep tracking tool can be connected to other devices and set them into night mode whenever you are getting ready to tuck in. Such pieces can also understand voice commands and run them on your mobile. Imagine answering a call just by rubbing your finger! This has actually become a reality!
Some features can also be used to improve security and identification. This is done for the sake of handling sensitive data like your banking account. Smart fingerpieces can learn from your routines, which enables them to provide personalized suggestions. Perhaps, you always have a work meeting at 9 AM on Tuesdays. And one day you almost overslept and was just one step away from being late. But, oh miracle, there was a magic ring that saved your day and woke you up even without a previously set alarm clock! Think of all the benefits such a ring could bring to its wearer by streamlining their actions!
Data Storage Pendants, Lockets, and Necklaces Serving as Wearable USB sticks
Memories are something we keep close to the heart. But how about giving them a physical form and one which serves both sentimental and practical purposes? If you haven’t guessed it yet, we are talking about USB storage neckpieces. They are practical and at the same time elegant. Unsuspicious onlookers may not even guess what’s hiding beneath that shiny locket cover. On the USB drive itself, you can store any meaningful data that you prefer to be on you at all times. Some of the wearers prefer their USB stick to have lots of remaining data storage so they could use it for work or studies at any moment. Others will prefer storing pictures and videos of their friends and loved ones, knowing they can always carry them in the most literal sense.
AI-powered Bracelets to Stay Connected to the World at All Times
AI bracelets may include chips and other tracking devices for security purposes. Proper wearer identification ensures that your personal information will stay safe. Such pieces may be used for bank operations and online shopping. In case of an emergency, the bracelet can also notify the wearer’s close contacts of their loved one being in danger. Albeit this isn’t the functionality that you’re eager to ever use, it might prove helpful for the elderly.
Overall, bracelets can be programmed to have all of the features we’ve mentioned before in our section about the rings. But remember to use them wisely and not just for the sake of showing off. Bracelets can turn into actionable assistants as long as you will permit them access to your data and enable the suggestions from your device.
Smart Brooches and Earrings: Can There Be More Unusual Hybrids of the Traditional and the Modern?
If you want to exude a sense of style and also appear tech-savvy, custom smart brooches and earrings may be just for you! The earrings can incorporate little microphones and bluetooth earbuds. Such an accessory will free up your hands so you can do something important while talking.
The brooch may be equipped with a miniature camera to spy on your surroundings. We don’t need to say how creepy filming unaware people is but hey, we are not here to judge but to discuss the wonders of technology! Additionally, brooches can incorporate GPS trackers and notify you of your location if needed. The accessory can be really handy for pet owners: imagine fastening such a brooch to the collar of your cat to ensure that it never gets lost!
The Future of Jewelry is Inevitable, So What Choice Do We Have but Embrace It?
The marriage of jewelry and technology is a very recent one. Although wearable pieces have been long used by doctors to monitor their patients’ health, it’s now becoming increasingly clear that such technology can be altered to be both practical and beautiful. Apart from health monitoring, jewelry devices can serve as personal assistants, payment processing units, emergency notifiers, hidden cameras, USB sticks, microphones, or earbuds. The only thing that depends on us is how wisely we will use such technology. Is it going to be one of those showy things or will we actually learn to apply the smart technology smartly? Let each reader answer this question for themselves and whether or not jewelry needs to be modernized this way.
