Connected Jewelery
March 2020
INTERVIEW
Where did the idea come from ? Who are the project holders ?
The project is supported by the RSE Innovation France association in its aspects of corporate social
engagement and with a view to future deployment in its “care” version (for white label deployment,
SMEs and large accounts whose employees are exposed to risk situations). RSE Innov. is partnering
with manufacturers for the manufacturing and IOT part (ST Microelectronics and Beuchat) and also
aims to quickly contact a distributor offering a retail distribution channel in the field of fashion and
costume jewelry.
What do they do ? What’s the project about ?
Flam'note is a Jewel connected to an application installed on the smartphones of the two
"correspondents" and which allows – to send a love message drawn from hundreds of quotes from
authors (database already established) and to respond to it via the jewel – to use the jewel to alert a
loved one of an emergency situation (assault, accident, …)
Why did they create it ? What kind of impact (social, artistic, innovative,) does the project have?
Targeting the general public by promoting the Gift dimension to a loved person … (France is the 3d
largest online dating market in Europe: + 9%per year of turnover) which makes it possible to widen
the market without stigmatizing and to cover much broader risk situations (each year, approximately
220,000 adult women are victims of physical and/or sexual violence from their (ex-)spouse). The
project wishes to work with the CCAS d'Arles, GRAIFF and the CIDFF (Information Center on the
Rights of Women and Families).
How does the SMATH Project help them? What are the next steps?
SMATH is offering the opportunity for real stimulation of the project and specific training which
allows me to draw up a realistic development schedule. I benefit from a time of professional
exchanges to accelerate this project and a very strong encouragement to bring it to completion.
