Wearable smart technology is being incorporated into our lifestyle in many different ways. I bet jewelry is one thing you’d never expect to be turned into a gadget, right?. Well, nowadays it can be a lot more than just a pretty ornament.
Smartphones and smartwatches are not the ONLY smart technologies available today. Other, less apparent devices can be just as functional. The best example is Smart Jewelry Tech Products.
The jewelry which is given the label ‘smart’ can now work as an activity tracker, a sleep monitor, a stress remover, or a complete fitness device to be more specific.
In today’s guide, we look at some of the prettiest and most functional smart jewelry tech available.

The Bellabeat Leaf Urban is a beautiful pendant that is wearable in many different ways. It is preferably worn as a necklace, a clip, or even a bracelet. The body has a solid feel and is made of wood composite.
It’s an activity tracker and sleep monitor with some additional helpful features. The stress sensibility feature is brilliant. It detects when you get too stressed, and it will remind you to do some breathing exercises or meditate to reduce your anxiety.
Another useful feature, especially for women, is the Menstrual Cycle Tracking. This enables the wearer to keep track of periods and calculate future starting dates. For those lucky enough to be expecting, you can also track the progress of pregnancies.

It can be argued that the Fitbit Flex 2 isn’t exactly smart jewelry. Still, in our opinion, its modular nature and ability to transform into different styles means it belongs on this list. The tracker can be detached from the band and turned into a pendant or a bangle with the accessories.
