New wearable, connected ring selected for Raul Penaranda show on February 8 2014
PRLog - Feb. 7, 2014 - MANHATTAN, N.Y. -- ringblingz™ the smart jewelry line that notifies you when a friend wants to connect, today announced that a custom pre-release ringblingz™ ring will be featured in the Raul Penaranda fashion show. The show will be held at The Hudson Bond, Saturday February 8, 2014 at 7pm as part of New York Fashion Week.

The wearable market generated over a projected $8B in revenue in 2013*, primarily supporting healthy lifestyle and fitness products. Inclusion in this show proves that the fashion world is ready to further explore the intersection of fashion and wearable technology beyond eyewear. It also marks a breakthrough for ringblingz, a Manhattan-based startup company leveraging the internet of things to create social fuel™ by enabling consumers to extend social connections on devices into conversations in the real world. The company’s first product−a smart ring that lights up or vibrates when a message is sent to the owner−will be previewed for the first time in the Raul Penaranda show. They will be available to retailers later this year.

“I have always said that my intention is not to reinvent the wheel in fashion but to invent some innovative spokes,” said Peneranda. “When we met with the ringblingz team we were impressed with how seamlessly the product blends innovative technology with fashion. I’m proud to debut the ringblingz ring.”

The ringblingz founders have more than 15 years of collective experience across the connected device, retail, brand and fashion industries, selling hundreds of millions of units of prior products. Saturday’s Fashion Week debut represents a milestone in their careers. In December 2013, ringblingz was selected as one of 10 companies in the prestigious R/GA Connected Devices Accelerator, powered by Techstars, where a team of R/GA experts and specialty mentors have worked closely with the founders to help bring ringblingz successfully to market.

“Success in the wearable market requires more than a mix of fashion and technology. The complete connected device must entice, engage and excite the owner,” said co-founder Jeanniey Mullen. “I’m thankful to Raul for seeing our vision and putting us on the runway. This debut is just first step in showcasing our ability to create a stylish, contextually connected world.
