The Perfect Ring for An Autistic?

[Fredan]

Just bought this stainless steel ring at the mall today. Only $15 Canadian, and it sure seems like real stainless steel, I have been wearing it for over an hour now, and no discoloration on my finger whatsoever, unlike what would happen with cheap costume metal like nickel for example.

Most importantly, the band in the middle spins, so it's a fidget toy, perfect for small in-public stimming, at least for me, seeing how I will often fiddle with something small in my hand, like a small piece of tissue paper, or a wrapper.

I am quite enjoy the spinning, and I even figured out how to spin it with one hand too.

for those of us with Alexithymia, mood rings come in handy:

Not that I have ever looked into it too much, but I wouldn't put much stock in mood rings, it just seems on the face of it to be another one of those superstitious or pseudo-scientific things.

If you can link me to something showing otherwise, like actual legitimate scientific sources, then I'd be all eyes.

Yeah, I was joking-- It sounds like they go by temperature of the finger, but not accurate: I just like the idea of looking at a mood ring to check whether or not I'm happy. They are still cool, and I have been wanting one lately.

"The stone of a mood ring consists of a thin, sealed capsule of crystals, which change color in response to shifts in temperature, covered by a glass or crystal gem. These thermochromic crystals within the encapsulated layer twist in response to changes in temperature, reflecting a different wavelength (color) of light with each change"

"Mood rings change color based on the temperature of the wearer's finger, which can be influenced by emotions, but they do not accurately reflect complex feelings. They are more of a fun accessory than a reliable indicator of mood."

Ah, got it.

For next time, maybe put some indication that i's meant to be a joke, maybe like a " " or something, or other emoji that has the same vibe.

I have a few of these.

There's an amazing assortment of different types of fidget rings.

Only $15 Canadian, and it sure seems like real stainless steel, I have been wearing it for over an hour now, and no discoloration on my finger whatsoever, unlike what would happen with cheap costume metal like nickel for example.

I strongly suspect that the "stainless steel" is just an electroplated finish over the top of a cheap bronze alloy and will wear off in places after a while, but they're cheap enough to replace that that doesn't matter.

Mine haven't in four years so far.

One ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
