(9 Jan 2014) It's hi-tech bling.
Here at CES in Las Vegas, Californian company Fashionteq are showcasing their take on wearable technology through a line of smart rings, bracelets, and necklaces.
Each piece is designed to have a removable device called a "Zazzie" attached to it.
The Zazzie vibrates and flashes a pre-programmed image - to alert the wearer that they have a message waiting on their smartphone or similar device.
Elsewhere, the gaming industry is also tapping into the wearable technology market.
As well headsets, gamers are now being given the chance to wear an armband that controls games - without the need for any external cameras.
Canadian company Thalmic Labs has come up with this Bluetooth enabled device called a "Myo" which works by sensing muscle movement.
The armband can take the place of the traditional mouse and keyboard and its creators hope the development community will eventually design apps for more than just games.
Wearable technology is receiving lots of attention here at CES.
"I don't know why it's so hot this year. I think that people just see it as the future. Like where everyone wants to be in like two years," says Michelle Alexandria, a tech blogger from Eclipsemagazine.com.
"Where now we are attached to our smart phones, and apparently I think companies have decided it's too big of a hassle for people to actually reach into their pockets or into their purses and try to pull it out where it's like hey it's just right there.
"And part of me thinks people are doing it just because they can. And it appeals to the kid and geek in all of us."
But it's not just wearable technology that's getting people's pulses racing here at CES.
3D printing devices are already used to make all sorts of components - but none of them edible.
Now a company is unveiling their first food-safe printers here at the show.
Two versions will soon be available - each allowing the casual confectioner or the seasoned pro to make their own sweet creations.
3D Systems' Liz Von Hasseln says the printers use technology similar to that in traditional computer printers.
"They're the first food-safe 3-D printers to be offered, which is really exciting," she says.
"They are the ChefJet and the Chef JetPro and the ChefJet is a monochrome counter top (version) and it can print in chocolate and sugar and candy in a bunch of different flavours."
The ChefJet and the Chef JetPro are expected to cost between five and ten thousand dollars when they go on sale.
"Not bad," says one woman tasting the confectionary.
Just as wearable technology is a key trend here at CES, so too is a collection of adaptable smart phone attachments.
While smartphones like Apple's iPhone have been gaining traction with photographers, they have been hampered by the use of a fixed lens.
Now, Izzi Gadgets is focusing in on that limitation by releasing a combination case and lens system to narrow the playing field between tradition cameras and smartphones.
The Izzi Slim gives access to four different lenses, including fisheye, wide-angle, macro, and telephoto.
"It's a four-in-one lens case solution for your iPhone. It gives you access to four different lenses, you have access to fisheye, wide-angle, macro, and telephoto," says Jason Guzman from Izzi Gadgets.
While some gadgets are being attached to devices others are making use of them.
Meet Ozobot, the robot app that can follow curves and lines on and off an Apple iPad.
It's an intelligent robot which recognises lines, shapes and patterns and then uses them for navigation.
The Ozobot is expected to be available later this year at a price of $59.95 USD.
