Ultrahuman Unveils Luxury Smart Ring
With versions in 18-karat gold and platinum, the wearables company is blending health technology and fine jewelry.
Wearables company Ultrahuman debuted a new line of 18-karat gold and platinum smart rings.
Las Vegas—Ultrahuman, a wearables technology company, has debuted what it calls the world’s first luxury smart ring.
The Bangalore, India-based company, which launched the Ultrahuman Ring Air in 2023, unveiled its new ring, dubbed “Rare,” at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The Rare rings blend “timeless elegance” with advanced health technology, said Ultrahuman, incorporating photoplethysmography (an optical technique used to detect volumetric changes in blood in peripheral circulation) and six-axis motion sensors.
Wearers can monitor several health indicators, including sleep, movement, heart rate, heart rate variability, stress, and skin temperature. The smart ring has up to six days of battery life.
Rare’s debut collection, the “Desert” collection, features three rings, titled “Desert Rose,” “Dune,” and “Desert Snow.”
The rings retail for between £1,500 to £1,800 ($1,830 to $2,196).

The rings retail for between £1,500 to £1,800 ($1,830 to $2,196).
“From the intricate fluid elegance of wind-sculpted dunes, each piece embodies the harmonious blend of beauty and resilience found in these arid landscapes,” said Ultrahuman said of the “Desert” collection name.
The Desert Rose and Dune rings are crafted from 18-karat gold sourced from London Bullion Market Association-approved refineries and hallmarked by the Bureau of Indian Standards, it said, ensuring authenticity and quality.
“Rare represents a bold leap forward, merging the artistry of fine jewelry with the precision of advanced health technology,” said Mohit Kumar, founder and CEO of Ultrahuman.
“With Rare, we’ve reimagined what a smart ring can be, creating a masterpiece that not only brings personal wellness but also embodies the pinnacle of luxury and craftsmanship.”
The Desert Rose ring is made in 18-karat rose gold with a brushed texture, inspired by its namesake, which is the colloquial name given to the rose blossom-esque “petals” created when crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte form in arid, sandy conditions.

The Dune ring is in 18-karat yellow gold, designed with a smooth-but-textured feel and a brushed finish, mimicking the grooves of a sand dune.

The Desert Snow ring is crafted from 95 percent platinum, with a sleek, frosted finish inspired by snowflakes sparkling under the sun.

The Rare rings will make their debut in mid-January in Selfridges in London and in Printemps in Paris, and the collection will soon roll out to New York, Milan, Dubai, and India, said the Ultrahuman website.
