AI Jewelry Unveiled at CES by Nirva
Wearable technology is getting a high-fashion ‘makeover’. At CES 2026, Nirva Labs unveiled its AI wearable, a sleek titanium device that doubles as a necklace or bracelet, designed to act as an “ever-present AI companion“.
Created by a veteran team from Meta Reality Labs (the creators of Oculus Quest and Meta Ray-Ban), Nirva claims their focus is on emotional insights rather than traditional fitness metrics. Unlike smartwatches that prioritize heart rate or step counts, Nirva is world’s first emotion tracker. It will assist users through “psychological analysis,” helping them understand the full context of their lives through multimodal sensing and emotional tracking.
Key Hardware Specifications:
-
Weight: Just 10 grams.
-
Material: Hypo-allergenic titanium with IP67 water and dust resistance.
-
Sensors: Dual microphones, an IMU for motion, and an ALS (UV) sensor to track sunlight exposure.
-
Battery: 2-day life, with a portable “jewelry box” charger providing three additional full charges.
Auto-Journaling
Nirva also has a feature called auto-journal, which passively records and summarizes a user’s daily events. Users can bookmark momentsin a digital diary with location, health, and calendar data.
The companion app also has a options called “life advisor,” which will offer ‘proactive nudges‘, ‘affirmations‘, and insights into social connections—even going as far as identifying whether certain relationships are “energizing” or “draining”.
Privacy and Availability
Addressing the privacy concerns inherent in a device that records audio, Nirva Labs included an indicator light to notify others when the device is sensing. The company maintains a strict policy of not saving raw data and allows users to delete their information at any time.
The Nirva AI module will retail for $200, with interchangeable necklace and bracelet accessories priced between $30 and $50. A monthly subscription for the AI services is expected to cost between $12 and $14. Pre-orders begin in February 2026, with shipping scheduled for the first half of the year.
