Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to critically review scholarly literature to identify and
explain recent trends in digital jewelry. The paper aims to assess internationally recognized
studies that examine various perspectives on digital jewelry, particularly its multifaceted uses
and diverse user profiles.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A systematic literature review approach was adopted.
Literature was sourced from a wide range of academic journals and databases. After applying
clearly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 49 relevant studies were selected for
detailed review. Emphasis was placed on identifying trends specific to digital jewelry, including
its aesthetics and the emotional connection users may have with it.
Findings: The study reveals that jewelry is often used as a form of self-expression and a means
of appearing trendy and attractive. Digital jewelry represents a new category of wearable
technology that prioritizes design aesthetics over technological functionality. In addition to
serving practical purposes, wearable technologies like digital jewelry must meet users' social,
emotional, and aesthetic expectations. The findings suggest that digital jewelry is a deeply
personal form of design, varying widely in terms of appearance, material, theme, and
interactivity. Despite its potential, much of the current wearable technology lacks aesthetic
appeal and user comfort, often focusing primarily on functionality. The paper also highlights the
multiple uses of digital jewelry, including its potential for womenâs empowerment, personal
communication, and emotional expression.
Value: This paper contributes to the growing body of literature on wearable technology by
offering a focused examination of digital jewelry. It presents a comprehensive overview of
current academic discussions, emerging trends, and practical implications, offering valuable
insights for designers, researchers, and technology developers interested in user-centered
innovation.
