The HB Ring revolutionizes the traditional wedding band by making it much more intimate.
Created by 'TheTouch,' the rings are gender neutral in design -- with rose gold or stainless steel bases and an exposed sapphire surface. The rings are connected to an accompanying app via Bluetooth and partners are able to sync their rings to each other and the app simultaneously. Once wearing their rings, the partners can simply tap them when connected to data or Wi-Fi in order to feel the pulse of the other's heartbeat while also seeing it light up on a screen.
The HB Ring offers a unique method of connecting to a partner in a way that is much more intimate than simply wearing a luxurious ring.
