10 Best Smart Jewelry For The Fashion-Conscious in 2019

Few wearable devices were made to appeal to the feminine, but this is all changing slowly. Since two years ago, fashion brands have realized that connected chips and sensors can be embedded into just any piece of jewelry, giving birth to wearable pieces collectively known as smart jewelry.

From rings, bracelets to necklaces, these connected jewelries are more than just meet the eye. They can act as fitness trackers, activity monitors or safety devices. A gold-plated bracelet that can also track your heart rate? Check. A clip-on cuff that detects your stress level? Check.

Moreover, you don’t have to be a woman to enjoy the fusion of tech with fashion: there are unisex designs that suit men who wish to add some high-tech to their daily outfit.

What is Smart Jewelry?

Smart jewelry adds wearable technology to beautifully-designed fashion accessories. Like smartwatches and fitness trackers, smart jewelry comes with movement sensors and health monitors, and can connect with your mobile phone to sync data and deliver notifications.

Who says you can’t track your steps with a dazzling jewelry made of precious stone?  Whether it’s a bracelet, ring, earrings or necklace, high tech jewelry can leverage technology to improve your wellbeing and productivity while complimenting your wardrobe.

• Weight: 0.83 oz (Flex 2); 0.96 oz (Bangle)
• Water resistance: swimproof
• Battery life: 1 year

After a successful crowdfunding campaign, invisaWear went on to tackle the seemingly impossible mission to create attractive safety wearables. The product was born out of the founder’ very own needs: to feel safe walking alone at night. In the US, one in four women experience sexual assaults on campus – there was a pressing need to develop something more effective than panic buttons.

At a glance, invisaWear’s safety jewelry looks small and stylish.The smart wearable modular device is hidden under a pretty surface, can can be worn as necklace, choker, bracelet or keychain. The jewelry pieces are intentionally designed to be discreet to not tip off an attacker.

Inside the tiny body, there is a smart brain that detects your precise location and send SOS alerts. Upon set up, you can create a personal profile and indicate up to 5 personal contacts. Powered by RapidSOS, the tech jewelry can share enhanced location and your name with the closest 911 dispatcher without having to reach the call center.

In case of emergency, you can discreetly activate the SOS service by double clicking the back of the charm. It will then send an immediate SOS alert with your location to your loved ones as well as the nearest police. The safe wearable can stay connected to your phone up to 30 feet via Bluetooth, so in case you cannot reach your phone, the jewelry can still call the police for you.

Priced at $129, it’s a pretty good investment for adding a layer of safety in your day-to-day life. Moreover, it’s not just for women – the keychain designs are unisex so everyone can enjoy what safety jewelry can offer.

Mira Wellness and Activity Bracelet

• Material: stainless steel
• Weight: 0.8 oz
• Sizes: Available in 2”, 2.2” and 2.5”
• Water resistance: not waterproof
• Battery life: 5 days
• Compatibility: iOS
• Display: smart OLED display

This sleek and elegant smart bracelet reconfirms that we don’t need to sacrifice style for being healthy. With a strong sense of aesthetics and fun, Mira wants to rethink what it means to exercise for busy women. It’s not a fitness wearable for gym rats and athletes. Instead, it acts as a friendly voice for the 9 to 5 office types who can use a quick reminder to add a few extra steps to their sedentary routine.

The sleek-looking jewelry is designed to add more visual appeal to your daily outfit, and blends in very well with ordinary accessories. The stainless steel cuff comes in two colors – midnight purple and brushed gold – and the black opal snaps in easily and can be removed to be worn as a clip. It does have a small display, which lights up to tell fitness stats and time when you active the side button.

The bracelet tracker is not swim proof, but basic fitness tracking is pretty accurate with steps, distance, elevation, and calories burned. It doesn’t offer sleep or heart rate monitoring, so it’s not advised to wear it to sleep. What’s unique about the Mira fitness experience is the simple motivational tips to get you move. When you click on the companion app “Boost” button, you get fun tips such as  “start your next walk with 20 squats”.

The price has dropped from $169 to under $100 on Amazon since its Kickstarter success. All in all, a very basic fitness tracker but a fun and stylish addition to your work outfit.

Spire Stone Stress Management & Activity Tracker

A simple wearable jewelry to help you stay calm

• Jewelry type: Clip
• Color: black
• Material: rubber
• Weight: 8oz
• Water resistance: water resistant
• Battery life: 10 days
• Compatibility: iOS, Android
• Connectivity: Bluetooth
• Sensors: Accelerometer; custom force sensors

Spire Stone is designed with a simple philosophy in mind: that our breath fuels our body and influences our mindset. By gaining control over our own breath, we can regulate stress and remain calm.

Made of soft rubber, the stone is comfortable enough for all day wear even when placed close to your skin. It’s tiny in size, and barely noticeable when you clip it on to your clothing. The metal clip does a very good job at holding on to your clothing all day. It’s waterproof so no need to worry if you accidentally throw it into wash.

The stone-like wearable is developed after 7 years of science research on respiration – the only automatic function we have control over. If you haven’t been reading up on the power of slow and deep breathing yet, most of us aren’t aware of how we are doing it wrong. Moments of stress and anxiety often occur with changes in breathing pattern, and this is when Spire Stone steps in as health intervention.

The algorithm learns your breathing pattern, and detects your state of mind in 3 key states: calm, tension and focus. As your breathing becomes fast and erratic – the first sign of tension – the tracker will notify you via its companion app, with actionable steps such as relaxation exercise or guided meditation.

The clip-on tech accessory also tracks activity such as steps and active minutes, but the metrics are pretty basic and nowhere near fitness trackers like Fitbit. It’s one of the only wearables out there that monitors breathing – well worth a try with less than $100 retail price on Amazon.

Senstone Voice Tracker

A smart wearable voice assistant for serious note-taking

• Jewelry type: Clip; Pendant; Cuff; Bracelet
• Color: Black
• Material: Chrome-plated brass; brass; aluminum
• Weight: from 0.39oz
• Water resistance: waterproof version available
• Battery life: 4 days
• Compatibility: iOS, Android
• Connectivity: Bluetooth low energy
• Sensors: 3 Axes Accelerometer

If you add artificial intelligence to wearable tech mix, you are bound to come up with something truly out of this world. Senstone is the first smart voice recording wearable with a touch of AI. It’s an elegant charm that turns your voice into text – whether it’s capturing an inspiration on the go, create a calendar event, or sending your colleague a voice memo.

The design is minimalist and modern, with the stone-like wearable taking on a curvy shape that vaguely resembles human lips. The tracker opal is primary black and comes in four styles: “twilight” featuring grey on black, “classy” with a hint of gold, “glace” with dash of silver, and the all-black “coal”. It’s a pretty understated piece of accessory that offers many ways to wear it: as a clip, a pendant in a necklace, a cuff or in a bracelet.

With a tap of a button, Senstone listens to your speech and runs the audio through built-in AI system to transform it into text. You can finally take notes on the go without reaching for the phone or getting distracted by emails and notifications. It can be even taken completely off the beaten track – the wearable records up to 2.5 hours offline and automatically syncs with your phone when back in range.

After its first prototype, the product raised more than $500K in crowdfunding campaign for manufacturing. You can pre-order it on Indiegogo starting from $129 per unit. Estimated delivery in May 2019.

Misfit Ray

Bold-looking fitness tracker bracelet that everyone can afford

• Jewelry type: Bracelet, cuff or pendant
• Color: 6 colors (Carbon Black, Rose Gold, Navy, Forest, Stainless Steel, Stainless Steel Gold)
• Material: anodized aluminum body; silicone or leather band
• Weight: 8g
• Water resistance: swim proof up to 50m
• Battery life: up to 4 months
• Compatibility: Android 4.3 or newer; iOS 7 or newer
• Connectivity: Bluetooth wireless synching
• Sensors: 3-axis accelerometer

No matter how you look at it, Misfit Ray is without a doubt the best fitness bracelet you can get with less than $100. It’s stylish, versatile, lightweight and most importantly, tracks all things important to health including steps, distance, calories, activity type and sleep.

By the look of it, Misfit Ray presents itself more as a piece of jewelry than tech. Its strikingly minimal yet elegant design features a sleek aluminum cylinder with a discreet multi-color LED. Compared to the ring of LED lights on Misfit Shine, the single LED makes it quite hard to tell what status the light is indicating. But this tracker does not aspire to be a smartwatch that tells time and stats right from the wrist, so the simplicity in design serves its purpose.

The tube-like body comes in many colors, and can be matched with two types of bands as bracelet, or styled with a chain as necklace. It can pair with your smartphone and send you a vibration when you receive a call or text. The silent alarm works great as well, waking you up with a gentle buzz. Plus, it’s waterproof up to 50m so you don’t even need to take it off in your shower.

The only downside is that the exercise tracking is not very advanced, so it’s best as an entry-level tracker. The battery last longer than most fitness trackers, but it’s non-rechargeable so you will need to replace the batteries which costs you a few extra bucks. Recommended for someone looking for a basic tracker that’s comfortable to wear and pleasant to look at.

Blinq Smart Ring

A luxe smart ring with hidden wearable technology

• Jewelry type: Ring
• Color: 4 color variations (4 – Red, Green, Blue, Purple) with 3 finishes
• Material: sterling silver & 14k gold with genuine gemstones
• Ring size: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
• Water resistance: Yes
• Battery life: 48-72
• Compatibility: iOS 9.0 or later, Android 4.3 and up

Another smart jewelry that came out of a successful Kickstarter campaign, Blinq’s smart ring was fully funded in 48 hours. It says how much the public needed something just like this: a good-looking wearable that compliments your outfit while keeping us fit and safe.

With precious, hand-cut gemstones and high grade .925 sterling silver, Blinq rings show us how smart tech can turn into a fashion statement. There is a range of gemstone colors, setting style and finishes to choose from, so you will surely find your gem. What’s even better is that these color gemstones glow and change color when you receive a notification, using gem-glow technology.

Consider this: on average, we receive 150+ phone notifications a day. In an age when everyone is tethered to their phone, this connected jewelry is designed for a digital detox. You can set up custom app alerts for 100+ smartphone apps as well as notifications for select VIPs. Then, head to to Bling app and filter what notifications you will be getting. For example in the app’s “distraction-free mode”, you will only receive alerts from up to 3 VIPs.

The smart ring has works as a panic button with a SOS feature called social SOS. When in need, you can repeated tap the ring to send SOS alert to pre-set contacts with your geo-location. It also offers fitness tracking too, but rather basic metrics such as steps, calories and distance. For a statement ring that is also a notification hub and fitness tracker, what more can we ask?
