Solar Panel Necklace

Mae Yokoyama, a Masters jewellery design student at the Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Sweden, has created the ultimate in green accessory – the haute couture Lux solar panel collar.

The solar panel collar accumulates energy during daytime and when the sun goes down a string of LED pearl lights is illuminated, turning the functional look of the solar panels into a fashionable necklace. The necklace requires two hours of charging to stay illuminated for four hours.
