CUFF brought a fashion revolution to the world of wearable technology. The company launched the first ever fashion wearables collection in February 2014. The smart technology that powered all CUFF wearables was a patent-pending CUFF Module, a tiny wireless component that can be tucked into any piece in the CUFF Jewelry Collection. Users simply tapped the CUFF and instantly an alert was delivered to all their chosen trusted network, providing security and an increased level of protection and connection in any surroundings or situation.
