Jewelery meets gadgetry in the Oukitel A8

Bluetooth tracking devices to help stop you forgetting your phone have been around for a while, but they've generally been quite functional in design, looking like a remote car key.

Chinese smartphone maker Oukitel is launching its own take on the lost phone finder with a new gadget that looks like a piece of jewelry but also functions as more than just an alarm to tell you you've left your phone behind.

The Oukitel A8 lets you answer and hang up calls so you can appear a bit strange on the train by talking to your pendant -- it could be a good way of getting a seat. It can also control music playback and act as a shutter button to control the phone's camera so it’s handy for taking selfies too.

It has a 280mAh battery which the company says takes only 30 minutes to charge and will give you 15 hours of connected standby or five hours of talk time. It's compatible with both Android and iOS, so it should work with most smartphones on the market and it comes in a choice of blue or black.

Normal price of the A8 is $24.99 but until April 29 it's available for $19.99 from the Tomtop.com site. More details of the gadget are available on the Oukitel website.
