Why has nobody invented a bracelet or necklace that lights up

[applegrove]

and is rechargeable? Chandeliers are so pretty. I have digital colored light candles. I've seen bow tie that light up. But jewelry nope. Something in christal would be nice.

1. Rechargeable is the big stumbling block.

As those batteries are lower capacity than non-rechargeable.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/b020/ for example takes 3 LR41/AG3 type.

2. I stand corrected. Perhaps the rechargeable battery could be in the clasp.

I'm not saying it would be very affordable.

11. Actually it could work

You could use a 25c lipo(which is the size of two pieces of dentine gum stacked). The 25c has enough power to keep my heli flying for 7-10 minutes(including several leds). It would last for days running just a single led.

25c lipo - 150 mAh
LR41- 25-42 mAh

16. Well hell... I see now what I'm getting some people.

Thank you very much for this link.

I want to make one myself.

17. I have a mi band (bracelet)

It lights up if I get a call on my cell phone and is usb charged once a month, does that count?

[applegrove]

18. That sounds really neat.

19. It's the $13 version of a fitbit or jawbone.

With the plain black band and silver blob, it feels like modern minimalist jewelry to me.

I've only had it a week now, but I'm enjoying it. I permanently shut off my alarm clock and switched to the more subtle wrist vibration to wake me up. That alone was the the cost, but also I keep my phone on mute at work and then always forget to turn it back on at home, so this is pretty handy (no pun intended).

It's got a pedometer and sleep tracker built in too, so about $3 per function - such a deal!
