MICA: My Intelligent Communication Accessory is a bracelet designed by computing giant Intel and New York-based fashion retailer Opening Ceremony.

MICA collaboration between Opening Ceremony and Intel, celebrates the conglomeration of intelligence with fashion statement and it’s time for the women to go techy without compromising their style.

Priced at $495 the device will provide alerts and notifications, including SMS messages, calendar reminders, meeting alerts and other notifications sent directly to the wrist display. Rather than carry a display at the top of the bracelet, MICA is designed for women to glance at and swipe notifications from the insides of their wrists. Also, two-way wireless data communication through a 3G cellular radio will be available without the need to pair with a smartphone. The device can charge wirelessly or using a USB cable.  And users will be able to set up VIP contact lists to filter who can reach them via the bracelet.

The device has its own mobile connection, meaning it doesn’t have to be paired with a phone, and comes with two years of free AT&T Inc. data service.

Crafted from premium finishes, 18k gold coating and a curved sapphire glass touchscreen display MICA will come in two styles -- one will have black water-snake skin, pearls from China, and lapis stones from Madagascar, while the other style will include white water-snake skin, tiger's eye from South Africa, and obsidian from Russia. The cuff-style device opens via a clasp and has a 1.6-inch sapphire touchscreen that sits at the bottom of the wrist.

The device will be introduced officially at Opening Ceremony's spring/summer 2015 fashion show on Sunday, during Fashion Week in New York
