This stunning ring changes color with your body temperature!
Mood rings were first seen as an extremely popular fad in the late 1970s, and they resurface regularly. The idea behind a mood ring is simple: wear it on your finger and it will reflect the state of your emotions. The ring's color should be dark blue if you're happy, and it turns black if you are anxious or stressed. While mood rings cannot reflect your mood with any real scientific accuracy, they actually are indicators of your body's involuntary physical reaction to your emotional state.
The stones used in mood rings contain liquid crystals, which move and bend in response to changes in temperature. When these crystals move, the color that they express changes. According to mood ring lore, each color represents a different emotion or feeling:
- Dark blue: Happy, romantic or passionate
- Blue: Calm or relaxed
- Blue-green: Somewhat relaxed
- Green: Normal or average
- Amber: A little nervous or anxious
- Gray: Very nervous or anxious
- Black: Stressed, tense or feeling harried
If you take a moment to think about the moods represented by the colors, you'll see a definite correlation between your body's surface temperature and the color of the liquid crystal. For example, when you are in a passionate mood, your skin is usually flushed. This is a physical reaction to an emotion, causing the capillaries to move closer to the surface of the skin and release heat. This brings about a slight change in the surface temperature of your body. When you are nervous or stressed, your skin may feel clammy. This physical reaction to your emotional state causes the capillaries to move deeper into your skin, causing the surface temperature to drop.
Please do not get this ring wet, as this can damage the mood stone and affect its ability to change color.
