This new Glowing Jewelry Product from Flipo is designed
for whatever use you might need glowing jewelry for, be it
partying, being a wizard, attracting attention or just being geek
it will certainly suit your needs. It utilizes EL technology for
a eerieawesome glow inside a real Rose Quartz stone.

Plus its a real hit with the Ladies, I guarantee you they've
never seen something like this. I really enjoyed this review of
the Fuze Necklace, its a unique item.

In The Box:

Your chosen Fuze Jewelry( Necklace, Bracelet, Ring etc..) Comes tucked in a nice little white box.

If your buying this as a gift for someone, you don't even have to pay extra for a gift box. Check out what it comes in.

Pretty Sweet looking, Points with the lady eh?
Watch her face when it starts glowing!

When you open it up, inside the wooden gift box the Fuze Necklace sits on a little black pillow like fancy jewelry.

Yes thats a real stone, No Plastic here. A genuine "Rose Quartz"

Design & Features:

This Fuze Necklace in particular is the Diamond Design of their
"For Men" line, They have at least eight necklace design shapes for women and men, plus bracelets, chokers, rings and a even fancier gift box.

Glowing StoneFeatures:

Even though I am a guy and we are not known for being jewelry fanatics, well at least us straight ones. I have to admit this is one of the coolest gadgets I have seen. The fact that it is a real stone and it glows and shifts through a spectrum of colors is awesome.

Heres an up close of the stone itself.

I hear you now, its got little chips and cracks! Actually thats
what makes the glowing look so cool.

The stone has an EL( Electro Luminescence ) multi-color lighting system packing inside. The wires run through the necklace itself and make a circuit through the Clasp. The Clasp is magnetic and reversible, so its easy to turn on or off.

The two batteries are stored inside the Clasp and are easy to take out or put in.

Please take note that when the Fuze Necklace is glowing, its nearly too bright for my camera. The photos do not do this baby justice.

Remember, Click the Pic to zoom in.

As it shifts to red..

Closer picture, In real life the Glow is very Ambient,
and has a iridescent aura of light around it.

Also I've taken a short video of the Fuze Necklace to better capture the shifting color effect. It shifts through about 7 colors.

Conclusion:

What else can I say? It does exactly what it supposed to, the glowing effect is way better than what you would expect for something so small. I especially commend Flipo for using a real quartz stone, it makes the ambient glowing look nearly supernatural. If it was plastic it just would not be so eerie. This will make a perfect addition to any Role-Playing or Fantasy Renaissance Faire costumes, as that magic necklace you always wanted.

PROS

• Never before seen Multi-Color EL lighting in a necklace

• Real Rose Quartz

• Very lightweight

• The luminosity of the EL lighting through the stone is amazing

CONS

• The clasp is a little larger than most would like since it contains the batteries, but you actually cannot feel it while wearing it.

I thought the Clasp and actual "Necklace" part of the whole thing could have a little more design to it, the metal wire is kinda plain and the Clasp is bulky. Then again its not really a designer jewelry piece, so its excellent for what it is!

Thanks to FLIPO for sponsoring us with the unique Fuze Necklace!
