Digital jewelry embeds computing components like microphones, displays, and antennas into jewelry items like necklaces, bracelets, and rings. This allows smartphones and other devices to be broken up into discrete, wearable pieces that communicate wirelessly. One prototype from IBM used a necklace microphone, earring speakers, flashing ring, and wrist display bracelet that together functioned as a mobile phone. While digital jewelry offers wireless convenience and fashionable tech wearables, challenges remain regarding small displays, potential health issues, waterproofing, and high costs.
