Hypenetec visits the North Yorkshire office of UK jewellery business, Kiroco, the creators of Kiroco Touch Jewellery, an innovative, smartphone savvy, interactive jewellery range.

We chat with the companies M.D. and Master Jeweller, Nigel Townsend and discuss Kiroco's ethos, products and its plans for the future.

Winner of the Best Innovation of the Year Award, at the 2014 Wearable Technology Expo, Kiroco products combine the elegance of traditional decorative jewellery, with cutting-edge digital technology.

The result, is a unique range of smartphone-enabled jewellery that refines the role of one of our most ancient cultural artefacts, by adding a new and engaging interactive twist.

Kiroco products take the sentiment of gifted jewellery and allow it to be translated into messages, video, pictures and audio. The resulting timeline, is 'locked' inside the jewellery and can be only be accessed when the wearer touches it to an NFC enabled smartphone.

The jewellery timeline can be updated long afer the giving of the gift. The result, is a combination of decorative item and evolving personal time-capsule.

Kiroco products bring the sentiment and emotion that has always been a part of jewellery, firmly into the the 21st Century.
