Zazzi is a new collection of high-tech jewelry for women that connects to a smartphone so that you never miss important notifications, messages or updates. When you get an incoming alert on your phone, Zazzi is capable of making a visual display, vibration or both to clue you in. This is designed to be like glancing at your watch, which is far more polite than constantly being occupied with your phone.
The jewelry line comes from wearable technology company FashionTEQ and features a customizable display that can be worn in the form of a cocktail ring, cuff bracelet or necklace. As well as being able to swap between different jewelry types, the images on Zazzi jewelry's display can be changed via the Zazzi app for maximum customization.
FashionTEQ currently has an Indiegogo campaign in the works, with the aim of raising $110,000 to help produce the final versions of the high-tech jewelry.
