Research on the Integration Path of Smart Wearable Technology in Jewelry Design

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the in-depth integration of technology and art, the traditional jewelry industry is facing a demand to transform from a single decorative attribute to a composite functional attribute. At the same time, the functions of smart wearable devices are expanding. The integration of the two is not only an inevitable direction for the development of tech aesthetics but also accurately meets users' core needs. This study analyzes the feasibility of integration from the technical and market perspectives, emphasizing that technologies such as micro-sensors, flexible electronics, and new materials provide support for the functionalization of jewelry, while consumers' diverse needs for health management, emotional connection, and personalized expression drive market development. On this basis, three paths of functional integration, material and process innovation, and design concept reconstruction are proposed, and the current challenges such as technical bottlenecks, cost control, and cognitive biases as well as their countermeasures are discussed. The study holds that smart jewelry is not only an upgrade of product form but also an overall reshaping of design thinking and industrial ecology. In the future, it will continue to deepen in terms of interaction methods and emotional connection, and become an intelligent medium among humans, technology, and culture.
