Jewelry is a beautiful and heirloom-ic lifestyle that can be personalized and designed to fit one's needs easier than ever before. Why? Because of the advancement of technology. Technology has helped propel the jewelry industry and we are here to tell you how. Below are some reasons why technology is here to stay in the jewelry industry.
Online Shopping. There are certain sites where the use of technology has advanced into virtually trying on a piece of jewelry before buying it. Before the online shopping experience has hindered the jewelry industry, because of the inability to try pieces on. They call it AR (Augmented Reality). This delivers a life-like feel to the shopping experience. Like the use of Face ID for makeup brands, this technology can allow the consumer to try on pieces of jewelry at home, making online shopping easier. It also adds a fun component to the process.
3D Printed Jewelry. The use of CAD (computer aided design) software and the use of a 3D printer is becoming ever popular. This provides benefits to designers. One is faster production times. The other is easy corrections to issues before the creation of the piece. Third, was observing the detail of each piece before it was created. All this helps to create a more versatile, complex and customized piece.
Technology that is both stylish and functional. With the use of technology, a piece of jewelry can become a functional piece to an everyday wardrobe. Jewelry makers are starting to see this crucial need. So many have been designing rings and smart bracelets that can connect to handheld devices or track your activity (heart rate, steps, etc). Can you imagine answering a message with the touch of a ring on your finger? Or answering a phone call with a gold elegant piece of jewelry, that wasn’t a watch. There are rings that are being designed that can track, like the Oura ring; tracking your sleep, activity, recovery and stress.
Laser precision. With the rise in technology this also has advanced in tools that are used in the jewelry industry. The use of lasers help to weld, cut, and decorate jewelry. It has also opened new ways to cater to a consumer’s needs. Just imagine being able to cut out the exact desired details on a piece of jewelry!
As the production of jewelry in this industry rises with the use of technology, it will be incredible to see in the future. Maybe we would see everything being customizable. From the online shopping experience to 3D printed jewelry, to the laser cutting technology; jewelry is certainly expanding.
