DIGITAL JEWELLERY
INTRODUCTION
The latest computer craze has been able to wear wireless computers. The Computer Fashion Wave, "Digital Jewellery" looks to be the next sizzling fashion trend of the technological field.
The whole concept behind this is to be able to communicate to others by means of wireless appliances. The other key factor of this concept is to stay fashionable at the same time.
WHAT IS DIGITAL JEWELLERY?
Digital jewellery is the fashion jewellery with embedded intelligence.“Digital jewellery” can help you solve problems like forgotten passwords and security badges.
“Digital jewellery” is a nascent catchphrase for wearable ID devices that contain personal information like passwords,user’s identification, account information, license, credit cards etc.
DIGITAL JEWELLERY AND ITS COMPONENTS:
Instead of one single device, cell phones will be broken up into their basic components and packaged as various pieces of digital jewellery.
Each Piece of jewellery will contain a fraction of the components found in a conventional mobile phone. Together the components, the digital-jewellery will work just like a conventional cell phone.
Microphone
Receiver
Touch pad
Display
Circuit board
Antenna and
Battery
Earrings – Speakers embedded into these earrings will be the phone's receiver.
Necklace - Users will talk into the necklace's embedded microphone.
Magic decoder ring - Perhaps the most interesting piece of the jewellery, this "magic decoder ring” is equipped with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that flash to indicate an incoming call. It can also be programmed to flash different colors to identify a particular caller or indicate the importance of a call. Magic decoder rings will flash when you get a call

7-16-segment, or dot matrix LEDs electroluminescent material (EL).
A micro controller that is a surface mounted device (SMD) on a printed circuit board (PCB) with resistors ® and capacitors © are the internal 'guts' of the jewellery.
The key to the device's ability to work effectively is a balancing of electronic components within the circuit with a light-duty processing and limited power consumption
