Activate Your Jewellery
You're a few moments away from setting up your personal medical profile. Here's everything you need to know.
How It Works
Your Asper jewellery has a tiny NFC chip built into it — the same technology you use when you tap your phone to pay. When someone holds a phone close to your jewellery, it opens your medical profile in their browser. No app needed on their end.
Before that can happen, you'll need to activate the jewellery and connect it to your profile. It only takes a minute or two.
Scan Your Jewellery
Hold the top of your phone against your jewellery. Because it hasn't been activated yet, it will take you straight to the activation page.
Enter Your Email
On the activation page, type in your email address and tap confirm. We'll send you a confirmation email straight away.
Open the Email & Activate
Open the email from Asper London and tap the activation link. That's it — your jewellery is now connected to your medical profile and ready to go.
Already have an Asper profile?We'll recognise your email and link the new piece of jewellery to your existing profile automatically.

How to Scan
NFC is built into most modern smartphones, but the reader sits in a slightly different spot depending on your phone. Hold your phone against the jewellery for a second or two — you'll feel a small vibration or see a notification when it's been read.
iPhone 7 and later
Hold the top edge of your iPhone against the jewellery. The NFC reader sits right at the top of the phone, behind the screen.
- iPhone XR / XS and later will scan automatically — no need to open anything first
- iPhone 7, 8, and X require you to open Control Centre and tap the NFC tag reader icon before scanning
- Make sure your phone is unlocked
Samsung Galaxy (S, A, Z series)
Hold the centre of the back of your phone against the jewellery. On most Samsung phones, the NFC antenna is positioned in the middle of the rear panel.
- Make sure NFC is switched on — go to Settings → Connections → NFC and Contactless Payments and toggle it on
- Your phone screen needs to be on, but it doesn't have to be unlocked
Google Pixel
Hold the upper back of your Pixel against the jewellery. The NFC antenna is near the top half of the rear of the phone, close to the camera area.
- Make sure NFC is switched on — go to Settings → Connected Devices → Connection Preferences → NFC
- Your phone screen needs to be on
Other Android Phones
On most Android phones, the NFC antenna is on the back of the phone, usually towards the centre or upper half. Hold the back of your phone flat against the jewellery.
- Search your phone settings for "NFC" and make sure it's switched on
- Your phone screen needs to be on
- If you're not sure where the antenna is, try slowly moving the phone across the jewellery — you'll feel a vibration when it connects

Build Your Profile
Log in to the Asper app and add your medical information — conditions, allergies, medications, emergency contacts, and anything else you'd like first responders or medical professionals to see. You choose exactly what's visible and to whom.
Set Your Privacy Levels
Not everything needs to be visible to everyone. You can set different access tiers — public information that anyone can see when they scan, semi-private details for those with a link, and private records that only you control.
Wear It, Forget It
That's all there is to it. Your jewellery works passively — there's nothing to charge, no app to keep open, and nothing to press in an emergency. If someone needs your medical information, they just hold their phone to your jewellery.
Common Questions
No. When someone scans your jewellery, it opens a webpage in their phone's browser. They don't need to download anything or have an account.
No. NFC chips don't have batteries — they draw the tiny amount of power they need from the phone that's scanning them. Your jewellery will work for as long as you own it.
Yes. Just scan the new piece and enter the same email address. We'll recognise you and connect it to your existing profile automatically.
Check your spam or junk folder first — it occasionally ends up there. If you still can't find it after a few minutes, head back to the activation page and try again. If the problem persists, drop us a line at support@asper-london.com.
Your data is encrypted and hosted securely in the UK. You have full control over what's visible and to whom through the privacy tiers in the app. We never share your information with third parties.
Absolutely — you can update your profile at any time through the Asper app. Changes appear instantly whenever your jewellery is scanned.
The NFC chip is sealed inside the jewellery and is water-resistant for everyday wear, including handwashing. For specific care instructions, please refer to the care guide that came with your piece.
