Novero’s Victoria collection takes Bluetooth headsets to the ball in elegant and expensive designs

For those who live their technology but still wish it to be classy and elegant enough to be flashed around, Novero has the key. They’ve recently launched a range of Bluetooth enabled headsets designed to look like jewelry. The range is part of their Victoria collection which they’re saying blends "fashion with purpose". They’re quite extravagant looking devices made fashioned from gold and silver metals with lapis lazuli and diamond gems. They can be paired up with mobile handsets that support Bluetooth technology of course, like anyone who would but one of these would have a handset that doesn’t. A total of five pieces have been launched in this collection and are priced at about $120,000 each. The Victoria collection goes on sale later this year, no price has been confirmed just yet.
