Ring that tracks

The £25,000 silver band, which has a tiny microchip inside, could hit stores from next year.

The tracker is meant to stop thieves from stealing the pricey jewellery – but it could be used by a suspicious partner to see where you are at all times.

Inventor Steve Bennett has created a prototype and plans to start selling them soon.

He said: ""This ring could safeguard the institution of marriage. It could mean an end to jealousy."

The Gemporia founder added: "After speaking to our customers we saw there was an appetite for his and her versions which sparked the idea of a trackable ring for couples.

“The way we see it, this is just the logical next step for a population that crave constant connectivity.

"We are just going one step further and bringing the technology quite literally right onto the palm of their hands."
