The conceptual 'Mettis Rings' have been designed by Anshuman Kumar for Titan Industries as a connected jewelry solution that incorporates the latest technology with tradition.
The toe rings are engineered with the same advanced technology you would find in a wrist-worn fitness tracker, but have been designed with Indian traditions in mind. This relates to how the jewelry is given to women as a wedding present that is in line with Ayurvedic practices and absorbs the position energy from the ground walked on by the wearer.
The conceptual 'Mettis Rings' take the aforementioned traditions into account by tracking how the wearer moves including walking, running, exercising and swimming, while also tracking heart rate and sleep quality.
