My first love in this life has always been jewelry. That love affair couple with my new-found interest in wearable technology has led me to find some very exciting examples of jewelry that incorporate elements of technology. Kyeok Kim’s Aurora project uses  patterns of light projected from pieces of jewelry onto the body as ornamentation.  ‘Aurora’ highlights the relationship between different pieces of jewelry, by its nature the pieces interact with the another.

To operate the decorative light, one must gently move the ring (containing a magnet) towards the main jewelry piece. This project is interesting to me because it expands on what the idea of jewelry is as ornamentation, making it more than just a piece of something that you decorate your ear, neck or wrist with.
