Totwoo showcases its vision for the jewelry of the future

China's first smart jewelry brand, Totwoo, recently launched an event called "Future Jewelry Experience" in New York to showcase its latest five collections and hold a forum discussing trend of wearable jewelry.

Connecting via Bluetooth through the Totwoo app, the jewelry can deliver real time health and wellness information such as calorie consumption, when it's time to move about, when you need to drink water and, for the ladies, when to expect the start of their menstrual cycle.

The company says that, in the future, the combination of AI and jewelry-making techniques will result in a new "Virtual Human Jewelry" technology, whereby a the wearer be able to interact with a virtual human companion. As time passes, the virtual human will learn and adapt, becoming more knowledgeable about the jewelry wearer and their requirements and proclivities.
