This research aims to incorporate technology into jewelry form, making jewelry for digital communication. It introduces the Otaku subculture within the context of digital culture and technology and uses this point of view to define digital communication, investigate its changing modes, and explore people’s social relationships in a digital world. This research leads to a new concept: Digital Communication Jewelry, which triggers communication between people and devices, creating a more comfortable environment and a more friendly experience. The research introduces and examines the jewelry’s functions, forms, mythologies, and finally, the relationship between maker and users.
