Technically, the Sound Waveform Bracelet by the Sound Advice Project (also part of artist David Bizer's thesis) is intended for use by parents imparting advice to their teens about drug use. But the bracelet has such a cool concept — you record any message on the website, and the soundwaves from the words become the bead design on the bracelet — that it could be awesome for anyone.
Friendship bracelets that "say" how much they mean to you or bracelets for significant others that say a sweet love message — it would be a totally geeky way to impart some feeling to a piece of jewelry. And at just $18, you can afford to be free with your affections.
But should the design be reserved for teens, as it's intended? What do you think?

My BF and I were geekily enough thinking of getting matching ones with a phrase from a favourite poem.
1I think it's super sweet, but wish the beads were less clunky looking, maybe metallic?
2Oooooo Mona you may be on to something. What if different colors meant different things?
3ooops, just saw that they come in other colors than orange.
4I like the concept behind the project. The bracelet itself is a pretty cool idea.
5I love everything about the project and the bracelet! (I'm an Audio Engineer!!!) Buying it now.
6I think it is super fun and would make a great unique gift for special odd occasions like graduation and such - heck even anniversaries and oh - now the ideas are rolling. I dig them.
7Going to turn mine into a necklace . . . of my daughter's voice. This is really cool.
8I love it! The idea's pretty innovative and can be given to anyone as a special keepsake
9what an amazing idea! i love it.. and i want one
10Very cool!
11perfect gift for my audio engineer boyfriend
12This is really cool.
13Wow, that's really cool! And inexpensive, too. Me likey.
14LOve, loVE, love IT!
I am an aunt to some teenagers that respectfully accept my advice. This would be a nice way to impart advice without having it be too in your face, or embarrassing if their friends knew what it was.
15I Love That Idea.
16how do you know if it is even accurate? Sorry, I just think its a bit pricey and unrealistic.
17I think the idea is cute, but honestly, I wouldn't wear one. I guess it just looks too clunky to me? But it sounds like it could make a great gift for teenagers, or anyone really ~ even to couples to tell each other "I Love You" in a physical form. If i ever got one, I'd probably just keep it in the casing and have it on my desk
18Totally buying it for my broadcast engineer bf!
