Technology has changed with the creation of microchips in the sixties. Currently, these platelets with integrated circuits can save and share information across the board. They are necessary for communication between various parts. This was taken as an advantage for the jewelry industry, and didn’t stay far behind using it only in its designs.
One of the most fascinating sketches was born in the University of South Korea in 2014, when scientists from the Kaist; created a bracelet with glassware and a brilliant incorporated technology. This allows for example, charging the battery of your cellphone; because the energy is taken from the warmth of the human body, thanks to microchips plates.
“We hope this technology finds new applications in systems such as cars, factories and airplanes; sectors in which the abundant heat energy is wasted, “said one of the manufacturers, the electrical engineer and professor, Cho Byung Jin.
Meanwhile, some of the jewels with microchips technology; were born to respond to the needs of society, in this case, for safety of citizens. In India, four young engineers created the necklace “Safer”; composed of a precious jewel that has a microchip connected to “smartphones” and allows alerting an application of any danger.
Gem is precious and with this added value, it becomes a unique piece inside the principles of the jewelry. “Young women love this design, but the best response has been from parents; who feel more confident, “said Paras Batra, director of sales and marketing of” Leaf ” the company selling the article.
In detail, the person in distress is able to press a button at the back of the piece; warning the contact list that was previously configured in the piece. It had a lot of acceptance and is recognized as a defendant “Wearable”; term referring to all devices camouflaged to monitor some functions of the human body or in this case, communicate with others quickly.
Similarly, technology companies are studying the vicissitudes of using the material of microchips to replace gemstones used in jewelry. They work in the “culture” of materials derived from microchips to have as gems. An action that favors the care of the environment, minimizing the impact of the exploitation of natural resources and their subsequent smuggling.
At the same time, the possibility of wearing a jewel like the other and even, according to calculations, the price will be lower. One company that is already working on designs of microchips is derived from the American “Diamond Foundry”, and one of the investors and researcher of Silicon Valey, Roscheisen; he said in an international interview “experts’ jewelers and gemologists cannot distinguish between them”.
