• NFT Non Fungible Token
• Another objective is to include means which can open the respective housing spaces and provide for the insertion of the tie, and which can close the same housing spaces and therefore keep the same tie stably locked inside; this possibility of inserting different ties and of different types, colours, fabrics and geometric shapes at different times therefore allows the device to be coordinated with the type and style of clothing of the clothes and other accessories worn.
• Yet another objective is to include an additional tie clip element in such a way as to block and keep the tie itself under pressure stably inside.
• a further objective is to include other means such as to make the product as a whole become a jewel, or an object of high fashion, or luxury clothing, or design, and therefore represents an element of distinction, class and fashion style for the person who wears it.
• the accessory element and the tie are made using a rigid plastic-type material, or a fabric, or a metallic material or metal alloys, and the metal can be a common metal or a precious metal, such as for example gold, silver or platinum, possibly subjected to a plating and/or engraving process.
• accessory element and the tie can be subjected to a craft manufacturing process in the jewelery sector, with possible engravings of figures and ornaments in relief, possibly enriched with precious stones set in respective support elements.
• Another objective of the present invention is that the above said means that integrate NFC technology and NFT technology contain an accurate copy of the product in digital format in such a way as to eliminate any possibility of replication or copying.
• Yet another objective is that the same means allow communication with external devices with reference to: owner's personal data; data relating to production, certification and technical characteristics of the product.
• a further objective is that communication with external devices allows owners to access to a social network that represents a private, certified and exclusive virtual community.
• this proprietary social network constitutes a system for managing access to exclusive and social events organized in real life by third parties, companies and/or institutions in charge, in which the above said device represents the equivalent of a digital passport.
• Yet another objective is that communication with external devices allows owners to access to an automatic emergency call providing the user's respective geographical location, and puts them in contact with emergency, rescue and police authorities.
