Like a match made in heaven, technology and jewelry are two fields that exist separately yet go together remarkably well. What could be better than a stunning bracelet? A bracelet that is not only attractive but is also functional! When the wonderful world of jewels meets the fascinating tech universe, these items are made possible. This exciting trend is spreading like wildfire, and for good reason. There is nothing that rings more true to the ideals of Generation Y and the post-economic crisis generation than fashion that is both beautiful and functional.

The Sesame Ring: It’s Feminine, and Will Do the Work for You

Think ‘Open Sesame’, not the edible seed! This form of wearable tech is a little different from the rest in that it has a sole purpose: it serves as a smart card for trains or buses, instead of having to fish around your bag for your bus card. This not only saves you a great deal of time and aggravation, but is also a fabulous addition to your look. Cute, and trendy, and available in many different sizes, as it is printed with a 3D printer, the Sesame Ring is the epitome of all that is aesthetic and up and coming.

The Shine Fitness Monitor: A Bracelet and Personal Trainer Rolled into One

We have seen fitness bracelets before that record things like your heart rate, the calories you have burned, and the amount of steps you have taken, but the Shine is a bit different.

These jewelry pieces are just a small sampling of what is being produced on a daily basis. Our lives and our jewelry will never be quite the same again. Thanks to the miraculous world of smart jewelry, we will be able to enjoy two passions at once: jewelry and tech.
