Inspired by the gestural language depicting the use of the phone, the color rings by BCK design team, including Javier Bertani, Ezequiel Castro and Vera Kade, are an accessory for your mobile phones that apart from making your chatter more natural and comfortable also turns your flamboyant fashion accessory in to a functional device. The color rings are intended to be worn in the thumb and little finger that works as a microphone and headset, while connecting wirelessly to your mobile phone. All you need to do is to point your thumb and little finger towards your ear and mouth respectively to make or receive a call, thanks to the built-in distance sensors.

Just because something can be done, doesn’t mean it should be done.
This design completely removes the ”hands free” aspect of using a mobile phone. And if you must have your hand held up to your head to hold a conversation, why not put the phone in it?
Considering that the bluetooth earpiece has been described as the ”mullet of the 21st century,” I like this idea. Yes, not hands free but great for urban walking (which I mostly do). Is this just a concept or can one really buy these?
