ADDRESS

Mouna Andraos and Sonali Sridhar

Once the jewelry is initialized, every time you wear the piece it displays how many miles away from that location you are using a GPS component built into the pendant. As you take Address around the world with you, it serves as a personal connection to that special place, making the world a little smaller or maybe a little bigger.
