NFC in Jewelry, Enabling Payment

[Alexander]

Can Nordic Semi technology be used to turn gold or silver jewelry, especially rings and bracelets, into payment devices, storing the payment card information? I am not technical but would like to know how to achieve this. Please see the story below for more details on the use case.

Visa is introducing a payment ring in the Summer Olympics this year. www.digitaltrends.com/.../

Hell Alexander,

While nRF52 is probably able to emulate EMV compliant "NFC card emulation" device (rather call it "contactless") aka "payment card" it almost certainly cannot pass security certifications required. So unless you target some close loop proprietary solution (where you would certify the device + app) it pretty much cannot be used for payment beside some dummy demos.
