Some people argue that women only want technology when it goes with their outfit. This argument is ignorant, sexist, and somewhat rude. The new developments in wearable tech jewelry are not just about making technology fit what women want but they are about a wider change in how we approach technology in general. We are all interested in technology that seamlessly integrates into our lives without being easily detectable. We want the tech items that help us run our lives integrated into other objects, hence, the smart bikes, smart watches smart bags, and smart luggage. We’re now seeing the first wave of completely hidden technology as microprocessors become smaller and smaller.

So it makes sense that technology innovators are shifting their focus on jewelry. First, jewelry is meant to be durable which makes them pretty sturdy housing for electronics. Secondly, their prominence on our bodies make them ideal places to pack all sorts of essential technology to give us easy access to everything from heart monitors to Bluetooth capability.

These 9 pieces of smart jewelry represent the latest of wearable tech innovation – but this is just the beginning, we expect more to come.

1. The Bracelet that Tricks Your Body Temperature

The Wristify bracelet will be a testimony that wearable tech doesn’t begin and end with connective devices. The bracelet will be able to change the body’s internal thermostat by producing cooling or heating sensations on the wrist. That sounds a bit odd, but the application of a little bit of localized cold or heat can help your whole body feel that way. It’s like wetting your face in summer, or wrapping your hands around a hot drink on a freezing day. It also looks amazing. The bracelet was developed by four MIT students and is yet to be launched and, therefore, there’s no price yet.

2. The Clutch that’s also a Mini-Speaker
