Suzanne Kalan Launches Tech Ring Jacket Collection
Health monitors become statement pieces when paired with the brand’s new collection of stackable diamond-studded bands.
The new tech ring jackets are designed to stack seamlessly with a smart ring, elevating the look. Seen right is the “Milli” smart ring jacket in 18-karat white gold with 5.68 carats of baguette-cut diamonds ($28,000).
Los Angeles—Designer Suzanne Kalan is blending beauty and practicality with her new collection of tech ring jackets.
The jackets, with diamond bands designed to frame smart rings like the Oura, are a new way to elevate a tech ring without sacrificing style, the brand said.
The global wearable tech market is estimated to reach $186 billion by 2030, according to a report from Grand View Research.
Kalan is one of the first luxury designers to offer a “high-end solution” for styling smart rings in order to help them mesh with the wearer’s existing jewelry collection, the brand said.
Kalan explained that she created the collection and new category for her brand after noticing a trend among her clients.
“They loved the functionality [of smart rings], but not the look,” said Kalan.
“So many women would show me their rings, then quickly hide their hands and say, ‘Don’t look at my tech ring!’ That’s when I knew—there had to be a way to make these rings something you want to show off.”
The diamond jackets feature a flat side designed to sit seamlessly against a smart ring, while the outer side features diamonds set in Kalan’s signature “Firework” setting.
The designs in the collection include 11 variations with a variety of diamond cuts, from baguettes to princess and round, in 18-karat yellow, white, or rose gold.
Sold in pairs, the ring jackets range from $5,000 to $27,000. However, the pieces can be styled in a trio with a smart ring, a duo for a small stack, or without a smart ring if it is time to charge it.
The Suzanne Kalan tech ring jacket collection is set to debut April 29.
It will be available exclusively on the Suzanne Kalan website and in-store at Harrods in London.
