Looking into the future of Smart Jewellery

The past, present and future of smart jewellery

When we think of today’s technology can do, we can agree on how far we’ve come. In old days, we never would have thought that it is possible for a ring to send us a notification or for a bracelet to track our steps or how these beautiful pieces of jewellery help us manage our fitness and so much more. Smart Jewellery is just one of the many proofs on how we have travelled quite the distance with its beauty combined with brains, elegant design with the power of sophisticated technology.

How many years is future away from us? Ten? Five? Three? The answer is indefinite and no one can really tell yet in this fast-paced world, everything is possible especially people never stop exploring technology, never stop creating new devices to ease our lives. Big companies such as Fitbit, Motive and Ringly never stop their pursuit of that perfect jewellery that is useful, usable and desirable for people.

With the continuous growth we can indeed look forward to the bright future but before that let’s look at where we came from and to where we’re heading.

The Past

It all started with smartwatches. The idea of compacting the functionality of a smartphone into our own wrist. Smartwatches have been present in the history as early as 1970’s and through time it began developing into the powerful device that we can use today. However, there’s no doubt that when it comes to smartwatches Apple reigns on top with its first release of the device that quickly earned them the best-selling wearable device.

High-tech looking and has that masculine appeal, smartwatches, however, are quite bulky and screams TECHNOLOGY in such huge letters that you can’t wear them for all occasions.

However let’s not just give the entire credit to smartwatches as fitness tracking devices had been present as early as 2002’s with Jawbone and Fitbit on the line. These companies worked hard for Bluetooth devices that were wrapped around your wrist to help you track your fitness. They came in limited designs that were usually plastic or rubber-like that you can’t wear outside your work-out session. Compact and helpful but not something you could be all day with you.

The Present

Filled with lessons of both success and failures from the first attempt, wearable devices emerged gloriously not just with enhanced technology but with beautiful and elegant designs. Nowadays, you can find almost every kind of jewellery smartened from a bracelet, brooch and even rings. They come with improved technology and accuracy to help you either organize your notes, manage your stress, and track your sleep and your health paired with stunning design. Ringly is one of the greatest examples, with a beautiful design that you can wear with any outfit you wouldn’t even know that the piece of jewellery is more than just a ring with its ability to track your health and receives notification.

Fitbit has been a huge part of the development of wearable devices, their Fitbit Flex 2 can not only last for 5 days without charging, they can receive alerts, track your sleep and help you stay fit. This device that millions love could still get better with Brilliyond SMART. Brilliyond SMART is a line of smart jewellery that can upgrade your Fitbit making it more stylish and wearable. Now you can wear it not just for work-out but for any occasion as it comes with various unique style, colours and natural gemstone which fits not just your personality but any outfits.

The Future

Future is not that far away. Imagine a smart jewellery that has everything you need. A device that is smaller, more efficient and more powerful, a beautiful piece of jewellery that you can just wear all the time as it embodies sophisticated technology and fashion perfectly. How about a masterpiece of smart jewellery being efficient enough that it uses kinetic-energy as one of its source power eliminating the need to charge it every couple of days? And wouldn’t it be better if this device could act as a personal assistant that has the ability to grow through experiences? People’s interest evolves and as it does your jewellery should too.

All these stunning features combined seamlessly to create a jewellery of quality, both powerful and high tech. Imagine a beautiful ring that can do everything mentioned above and can do some more like store the data you need, pay your grocery, unlock your house door and car. A ring that can even detect your body temperature and automatically adjust the air conditioning!

It sounds far-fetched and an ambitious sci-fi like, however, this is not impossible. People are working hard to achieve this level of technology and we are progressing as days go by, just like how we in Brilliyond works to bring the best out of jewellery.

The future is not that far away and just as how once we thought what we have now is impossible, this smart jewellery will be in our hands one day.
