Jewelry that spells out messages like “peace” with actual letters instead of a symbol are a little on the nose. Kind of like pants that say “juicy” on the butt—we don’t need commentary on your ass, we can see it just fine and form our own opinions thank you. Anyway, if you’re looking for jewelry that conveys a message in a more subtle way, then check out these morse code bracelets. Each one has a word spelled out in morse code using beads, including “beauty,” “peace,” and “kindness. That’s great, but what they really need is a wedding ring that spells out S.O.S. Ba dum tss!
If you haven’t already started making plans for after you pass away you absolutely should, regardless of your age. I’m not talking about a will or life insurance policies—I’m talking about your browser history. Do you really want people to find out after you die that you were Facebook stalking your exes or that your last Google search was “how do i know if i have herpes in my eye?” Of course not. That’s what makes this medicalert bracelet so brilliant. Apparently you can get anything engraved on them. One redditor came up with a pretty hilarious choice: Delete My Browser History.
As a woman it’s not always easy to find a good place to hide your booze when you’re dressed up for a fancy-pants event, amirite ladies? Guys have all kinds of flask accessories like the flask tie and the flask belt buckle. Sure, we’ve got the wine rack flask bra, but it obviously doesn’t work when you’re wearing a strapless dress. Luckily designer Cynthia Rowley came up with a classy way to get trashed on the sly. The Flask Bangle Bracelet lets you hide your booze while making a bold fashion statement—presumably the first of many bold statements you’ll make that evening… especially if you’re a mean drunk.
Let's face it: right now, the head nods and other rudimentary controls of Google's Project Glass are mostly useful for looking good, sharing photos and not much else. A US patent application submitted last September and just now published, however, raises the possibility of more sophisticated control coming from your hands. A ring, a bracelet or a even a fake fingernail with an infrared-reflective layer would serve as a gesture control marker for a receiver on heads-up display glasses. Having this extra control would give the glasses-mounted computing room to grow by learning gestures, and it could even depend on multiple ornaments for more sophisticated commands -- at least, if you don't mind looking like a very nerdy Liberace. We can imagine the headaches a hand-based method might cause for very enthusiastic talkers, among other possible hiccups, so don't be surprised if Project Glass goes without any kind of ring input. That said, we suspect that Sauron would approve.
Google patent application could give Project Glass one true ring controller to rule them all originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 18 May 2012 12:03:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
