    The world debut of totwoo smart and fashion jewelry was held on the evening of October 19 2015 in Milan by the Xinyoulingxi Technology founded by Wang Jieming, a Chinese famous mobile Internet entrepreneur, and Marco Dal Maso, an uprising Italian jewelry designer. Unlike common features of current wearable device that are single and identical in the form with the function only around sports and health attributes, the design innovation and fashion atmosphere of totwoo presented on aesthetic appearance, highlights the aesthetic style and unique ingenuity of totwoo firstly as jewelry. The internal unique “totwoo intelligent” can be connected with and mobile phone APP through Bluetooth, which allows totwoo to be a jewelry with ‘mind’ “friendly and understands love”,and not only reflects the fashion tastes of wearers that they can share the good moment anywhere at any time with emotional communication, but also allows people to concern themselves physically and mentally. The app will support both IOS and Android phones. Wang Jieming:“Wearable device has been one of the most notable field of scientific and technological innovation in the world, and it is also the development trend of the future smart technology that each launch of a wearable product will be highly anticipated. Founding such a smart jewelry brand of totwoo, allows wearable product back to the essence of being the carrier of ‘People’s pursuit of the good things’ As the co-founder of totwoo brand, Marco Dal Maso personally designed the first two series of the product and name it.”I think that distinguished from all the other jewelry products, there is a ‘mind’ in totwoo, and it completely can help to launch a new category. The emergence of it has not only brought new vitality for the jewelry industry, given more missions to jewelry, but also subverted the traditional sense of jewelry, and has brought a revolutionary value for the jewelry industry with new business model and advanced sense of innovation.”
