Sustainable smart wearables have become the new focus.

The jewelry industry is undergoing a transformationbrain-computer interface jewelry and sustainable smart wearables have become the new focus.

With the deep integration of artificial intelligence and biosensing technologies, the global jewelry industry is experiencing an unprecedented technological revolution. From smart necklaces that can monitor emotions to liquid metal bracelets that can change shape, jewelry in 2025 will no longer merely be decorative items; instead, it will become the intelligent interaction interface between the human body and the outside world. 

◆◆Smart Wearables 3.0: Accessories Become "The Second Skin"

According to the latest "Global Jewelry Technology Trends Report 2025" released by the International Jewelry Federation, the market size of smart jewelry is expected to reach 82 billion US dollars, an increase of 134% compared to 2024. Among them, biologically integrated jewelry has the most significant growth rate. 

"Accessories are moving from 'wearable' to 'integrated into wearables'." The chief analyst of the report, Li Mingzhe, pointed out, "The breakthrough in 2025 lies in the fact that technology is no longer an additional feature but has been perfectly integrated into the design of accessories, creating a completely new wearing experience." 

It is worth noting that the "Neural Band" brainwave headgear series jointly launched by Apple and Cartier can monitor the wearer's emotional state in real time through micro sensors, and adjust the luster and temperature of the accessories accordingly, thus pioneering a new category of "emotionally visualized accessories". 

◆◆Sustainable Innovation: Jewelry Made from Carbon Dioxide

The application of environmental protection technology in the jewelry industry has also achieved significant breakthroughs. The carbon capture technology developed by the Swiss startup "AirCarbon" can convert industrial emissions of carbon dioxide into high-quality jewelry materials. This technology has received strategic investment from the Louis Vuitton Group, and its first collection, "Clean Air Brooch", was showcased at the Paris Fashion Week and quickly sold out. 

Wearing such accessories is not only a fashion choice but also a declaration of environmentalism. "Sophia Chen, the CEO of AirCarbon, said, 'Each piece of accessory clearly indicates the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide it has absorbed, making environmental protection tangible and visible.'" 

◆◆Chinese Design: Cultural Genes Integrated with Technology

Chinese brands have excelled in the integration of technology and culture. The time-honored jewelry brand Lao Feng Xiang launched the "Digital Dunhuang" series, with the jewelry featuring a miniature holographic projection device that can display dynamic images of Dunhuang murals. Meanwhile, the emerging brand "Yuan Chuang" collaborated with the Palace Museum to develop the "Palace Moonlight" smart jade pendant, which changes color according to the wearer's heart rate. 

"The collision between Eastern aesthetics and cutting-edge technology has created a unique market differentiation." Professor Wang, the director of the Jewelry Design Research Center at Tsinghua University, commented. 

Personalized customization enters a new stage of "brain-computer interaction"

The personalized customization field is also undergoing an innovation. Through brain-computer interface technology, consumers only need to wear simple devices and imagine the ideal style, and the AI system can convert it into a specific design drawing.

◆◆Future outlook: Accessories as the entry point for human-computer interaction

Industry experts predict that as the technology cost decreases and consumer acceptance increases, the role of accessories as the entry point for human-computer interaction will become more prominent. By 2026, more than 30% of smart accessories will have practical functions such as health monitoring, non-intrusive payment, and even real-time translation. 

"Accessories are redefining their own value." Professor Chen Lin, the director of the Accessories Design Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, concluded, "They are not only an extension of beauty, but also a carrier of technology, an expression of emotions, and an integration of functions. This trend becomes particularly evident in 2025." 

As the boundaries between technology and fashion become increasingly blurred, the jewelry industry is experiencing unprecedented opportunities for innovation, offering consumers a new and both aesthetically pleasing and practical experience.
