Smart Jewelry - Wearable Technology Accessories
July 21, 2014 by admin.

"Smart jewelry" and "wearable technology" have become new fashion accessories, and ideas have come to life in the past few years. Unfortunately, the beginning of smart technology and the idea of wearing the pieces as "jewelry" or "accessories" didn't quite mash well, because the first pieces were not anywhere near eye candy.

But, this technology has advanced into pieces that could trick your eye into thinking that it's jewelry. Like these:

The Netatmo June is a shiny and delicate looking brooch or wrist wrap (attached to a leather strap). It can ingeniously protect you from the dangerous rays of the sun and the weather forecast when linked up to your iPhone and the partnering app. This little pretty will run you around $100.

Pictured above is what is called the Misfit Shine. It comes in the form of a unisex black, topez, grey or champagne matte aluminum locket with a sports band or a clasp, so it can be worn as either around your wrist or neck. What does it do? This clever little "pendant" is a $120 activity tracker that can help you up your fitness game.

Essentially, you can set up the Android or iOS app to sync with the Shine that has 12 LEDs in white. When you tap the Shine, the LEDs light up and each one reflects the progress of the goals that you have set up in the app (which will require Bluetooth 4.0 LE support on your device). The "locket" was created to detect and track activities, such as running, walking, cycling, is waterproof for swim tracking, and will even track your sleep times to help you keep track of your overall health.

Would you wear these smart jewelry examples? Would they come in handy to you?
