The 'Purple' necklace is a tech-connected locket that links wirelessly to the wearer's friends and family via social networks. In other words, the locket is able to upload messages and incoming posts onto a screen incorporated in the pendant's design. This way the notifications pop up while the necklace hangs close to the wearer's heart, further solidifying the importance of digital connection in the modern era.
The locket features a semi-circle shape that is hung on a long, golden chain. The front facing portion of the pendant is domed and golden, while the back is flat and made up of a digital screen. It is here that the notifications from social media accounts and text messages appear, allowing wearers to check them easily.
