Suzanne Kalan Has Given Your Wellness Ring A Glow-Up
Diamond jewelry designer Suzanne Kalan has just given your Oura ring an upgrade — and it's bringing luxury jewelry vibes to health tracker rings. Wellness-related wearable tech has become a part of everyday life for many of us. Health tracker rings like Oura represent a chic and discrete alternative to Fitbits and smart watches to measure daily activity, steps and calories burnt, but for anyone with a taste for luxury jewelry, they could certainly do with a style upgrade. EnterLos Angeles-based diamond jeweler Suzanne Kalan, who has created a capsule collection of ring jackets in yellow, rose and white gold designed in her signature diamond Fireworks motif, to wear with health tracker rings. Clusters of baguette diamonds, gold-lined for comfort, elevate the plain tech bands and add some much-needed sparkle to transform them into a luxury style statement. Designed to hug a health tracker ring between two bands of diamonds, the ring jackets were conceived to take wearers from workout to wine bar, after Kalan noticed that clients were self-conscious about their fitness tracker rings. 'So many women would show me their rings, then quickly hide their hands and say 'Don't look at my tech ring!',' she explains. 'That's when I knew — there had to be a way to make these rings something you want to show off.' Fitness tracker rings are wearable technology that can measure heart rate, sleep patterns, temperature, activity and even stress levels, allowing people to monitor the state of their body each day, through a linked app. Members wear a ring and pay a membership fee, to have their data measured through sensors hidden inside the band. Spotted on health-conscious celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Prince Harry and Gyneth Paltrow, Oura is the market leader with 80% market share. Other smart ring brands in the space include Ultrahuman and Samsung's Galaxy Ring. In terms of design, health tracker rings are often sleek, minimal cigar bands, ready for a little extra diamond dazzle. Where one luxury jewelry designer has gone, hopefully others will follow. Starting at $5,000, the ring jackets are available online at and at Harrods, London.
