Will you be very surprised or even moved when you find out that there is still a video, a voice and even a few precious photos hidden in your pearl ring?
Speaking of smart jewelry, most of the products currently on the market emphasize “smartness” in their functionality: message notification, security alarm, health tracking, etc., but often ignore the core meaning of jewelry: the symbol of love. So Chi Huynh, founder of Galatea: Jewelry by Artist, an American jewelry company known for its hand-carved pearls, has launched a pearl that can store loving memories, “Momento Pearl”.
The principle of Momento Pearl is as follows: the chip is embedded in the pearl, usingNFC(Near Field Communication) technology stores the content of the phone into the Pearl. For users, when buying a Momento Pearl ring, necklace or earrings, the user needs to tap the jewelry on the mobile phone, and the mobile phone will automatically jump to the APP page of the application store. After downloading and opening the APP, touch the jewelry On the mobile phone, by operating the APP, you can upload and “store” photos, voices, texts, videos, etc. to the Pearl. When the upload is complete, just tap the pearl on the phone again to save the content. The content in the APP will also be synchronized with the cloud, so even if you lose your jewelry, you don’t have to worry about losing those precious content.
When the jewelry with “precious memory” is given, the party who receives the gift also needs to touch the pearls on the jewelry to the mobile phone, and “decode” through the APP to know the secrets hidden in the pearls.
In this way, Momento Pearl gives simple pearls a very rich connotation, allowing users to “personalize” settings and even update the content of pearls frequently, especially for mothers, lovers and daughters who are often not around , such a gift has a special love.
Different from other smart jewelry, Momento Pearl’s pearls, earrings, necklaces, etc. do not need to be charged or installed batteries, and data storage can be easily completed through Bluetooth transmission after NFC pairing. In addition, it has a waterproof function, so it is no different from normal jewelry, but it has more “love memories” than the latter.
However, Momento Pearl also has its downsides. First, the chip in the Pearl has only 500 MB of storage, which means it can’t store much content or long videos. Secondly, the user needs to remember the position of the NFC chip of the mobile phone when the user touches the mobile phone with the pearl for the first time, and every time the content in the ring is read or changed, the same position needs to be triggered by the pearl. This brings inconvenience to the user experience. Again, relying on the NFC technology of the mobile phone also determines that it can only be used on mobile phones with Android system. Apple’s iPhone’s NFC technology is not open to third parties except to support Apple Pay. So, unfortunately, Momento Pearl lost a large number of iPhone users.
Currently, Momento Pearl is crowdfunding on kickstarter, and the product will ship in April after the crowdfunding is completed on March 29.
