Posted on By Syifa

With seven Grand Slam titles, four Olympic gold medals and a former world number one in both singles and doubles, Venus Williams is rounding out her impressive resume with a venture into jewelry. The athlete partnered with Reinstein Ross on the Diamond Match collection, which was released on Tuesday.

The collaboration marks the legendary athlete’s first-ever jewelry collection, featuring an array of luxury 20-carat gold and diamond jewelry pieces inspired by her longtime love of pavé.

“The collection was inspired by a ring that I have worn so often in my matches,” Williams told WWD, later adding, “I sweat for a living and I still want to feel fabulous. That’s why I practice wearing these big pavé rings and hoop earrings on the court because it’s an expression of self.”

Will the next generation of wearables be earrings and jewellery? University of Washington researchers think so

University of Washington researchers have created a thermal earring that could be the first in a new generation of wearables

The wireless wearable collects health data from the earlobe

It shows promise for measuring signs of stress, eating, exercise and ovulation

There are ambitions to make this into a jewelery range for health monitoring

University of Washington researchers have created a wireless wearable in the form of a thermal earring that continuously monitors a user’s earlobe temperature.

In a study of six users, the earring outperformed a smartwatch at sensing skin temperature during periods of rest. It also showed promise for monitoring stress, eating, exercise and ovulation.

About the size and weight of a small paperclip, the earring has a magnetic clip that attaches one temperature sensor to a wearer’s ear, while another sensor dangles about an inch below it for estimating room temperature.

The earring can be personalized with fashion designs made of resin, without negatively affecting its accuracy.
