Another Bluetooth Ring
Inspired by the classic tale "1,001 Arabian Nights", five Taiwanese jewelry designers will create 1,001 distinct rings before the end of the month, reports the Taipei Times via Blueserker.
"Their purpose is to expand the possibilities in ring design said one of the participating designers, Nick Dong.
One of Dong's designs includes a version of the earpiece used by mobile phone users. Instead of attaching a device to an ear, it is worn on two fingers and has a small stone inset, which lights up when there is an incoming call".
Other Cellphone Rings:
-- Technojewelry - Penta Phone, Ring Phone and GPS Toes - Focusing on the hands and feet as nonintrusive locations for useful innovations, these concepts prove that new devices needn't look alien to your person and that we can make technology adapt to our lifestyles rather that the other way around.
-- The Ring Phone - A phone consisting of two finger rings, one ring for listening and one for speaking, designed by Jimmy Jeppson.
-- Ring phone concept - a mobile phone encapsulated into a ring you wear on the finger. The microphone is placed on a retractable piece of string. You hold your hand up to your ear while talking in it. [via nnf]
