# Internet-Connected Jewelry The Mota Smartring Sends Notifications to Wearers Via Vibrations By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-09-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mota-smartring References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/technology/mota-smartring-vibrations-notifications-09-03-2014/) & [mota](https://www.mota.com/) The MOTA smartring is an ingenious net-connected ring -- produced by consumer wearable electronics company MOTA -- that updates its wearer when they receive calls, text messages and social media notifications. The ring notifies wearers of updates by delivering [light vibrations to their finger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-touch-4). The ring has a screen that allows you to scroll through your alerts to see if there's anything particularly important. The ring also displays the time and temperature. The MOTA smartring's [wearable technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesel-x-ultrahuman) syncs with a companion smartphone app, making it easy for you to stay connected even when you're not physically near your cellphone.
