Semi-precious: The best smart jewelry

Smart jewelry as a trend has been bubbling under for the past three years or so and now we've reached the stage where, no matter which piece of jewelry you'd like to see smartened up, there's a couple of different options. Cheap Jewelry Sites

Startups like Bellabeat, alongside big names such as Swarovski, Michael Kors and Kate Spade, have been quick to realise the potential of these form factors, and have created some beautiful designer jewelry that does more than just look good.With added smarts for fitness tracking, notifications and stress management, the next generation of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings is set to be connected. Read on for some of our favourites.

This unisex smart ring, Motiv, promises fitness tracking from the finger. It's very smartly built - titanium, just 8mm wide, two finishes of rose gold and slate grey, plus seven sizes to cater to men's and women's hands.

As for features, the real impressive thing here is that Motiv has managed to get an optical heart rate sensor into this form factor. There's also a 3-axis accelerometer for tracking steps, distance, calories as well as sleep. Battery life is five days, the ring is waterproof up to 50m and it now works with both iOS and Android.
The Bellabeat Leaf Urban features a bunch of lifestyle tracking options from a slick looking device (seen clipped onto the model's vest, above). Stress levels are monitored by the Urban, by recording the wearer's breathing patterns, and now the companion app will tell you how rested/prepared you are to deal with stress that day.

The device - like the Leaf before it - can also help women track their menstrual cycles and advise them during periods of ovulation. Step and sleep monitoring is part of the comprehensive feature package and this leaf-shaped wearable is smaller and a bit funkier than its predecessor too.
