Abstract

This paper discusses the innovative combinations of electronic devices and jewellery as a new approach in electronic jewellery. Jewellery is an expression of the human need to look stylish and appear attractive. There are plenty of jewellery designs available in the market namely necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings. At the same time, there are a variety of electronic devices that have become attractive to consumers. While an electronic device is used in the present age to assist people in communication, entertainment, and work operation, jewellery is generally known and worn only for the purpose of fashion regardless of age. Hence, researchers are looking forward to changing the way people perceive its use and the styling of jewellery. In this study, researchers discuss the potential of varying the styling of jewellery that have been combined with electronic devices. As jewellery makers and designers, researchers demonstrate a different approach to the development of jewellery making combined with electronic objects. Feedbacks retrieved from the questionnaires were categorized into two (2) main sections: Section A: Level of evaluation criteria on designs and Section B: Level of evaluation on the products. This study can widen the significance and style of wearable electronic jewellery based on design and product.
