Ring "Chameleon"

Chameleon rings are perhaps one of the most unusual accessories. This is a kind of jewelry that can change its color depending on the temperature due to temperature-sensitive elements. A red ring literally in a matter of minutes can turn into yellow, green, black, or acquire any other shade.

Thermosensitive elements in jewelry began to be used in the 70s of the last century. For the first time, a jeweler from the United States, Marvin Wernick, came up with this idea. This idea was prompted by an article on the use of thermosensitive crystals in medicine, published in 1974. By January of the following year, he had picked up an element that would change its color at temperatures close to the human body. And by February 1975, the first piece of jewelry that could change color was sold.

To attract buyers, the advertising campaign stated that the ring is capable of showing the mood of its wearer. This is partly true, because the emotional state slightly changes the body temperature, and the heat-sensitive elements of the decoration are able to catch these minor changes. However, you should not dwell only on this property, since a change in the color of a chameleon ring can be interpreted in different ways. It must be remembered that this is just a beautiful accessory.

Marvin Wernick was so eager to release the developed series of jewelry to the market as soon as possible that he did not even manage to patent his idea. Therefore, sometimes speaking about who came up with the idea of ​​creating heat-sensitive jewelry, they call the name of Joshua Reynolds.

Chameleon rings have grown in popularity at an incredibly fast pace. In the first year, it sold $ 15 million worth of products.However, their popularity waned as quickly as it arose. The fashion for these jewelry quickly passed, and the enterprises suffered losses.

Besides the fact that rings with a chameleon effect are very unusual, they have a number of their own characteristics.

The composition of the material from which the original product is obtained includes a certain kind of temperature-sensitive element in the form of liquid crystals. They are capable of responding to temperatures ranging from 32 to 38 degrees Celsius.

To obtain a decoration, a capsule of the required shape made of glass or quartz is filled with this liquid crystal substance. This capsule is the main decorative element of the chameleon ring.

In fact, this is a kind of medical technique that allows you to control the physical condition of a person. Any diseases in the body entail changes in metabolism, disrupt homeostasis. Under the influence of certain factors, liquid crystals begin to move in a certain order, refracting light in different ways, which is why the ring changes color.

Doctors are able to preliminarily determine the temperature and blood pressure by the tone of the liquid crystals. Certain shades of this decoration may indicate inflammation or even swelling.

The ring on the finger, which changes its appearance depending on the emotions experienced, is an elementary indicator of mood. It is so sensitive that it picks up temperature fluctuations in the human body associated with an emotional state.

Due to this property, such jewelry is called "mood rings". Products with thermosensitive elements are even accompanied by instructions, with the help of which you can find out what emotional state of a person a particular tone of an accessory corresponds to.

Mood jewelry usually has a versatile design. This is a simple ring, around which an insert is made of an unusual material. This model is suitable for both women and men. Moreover, such an accessory is quite appropriate both for everyday wear and as a decoration for an evening dress.

There are products with more complex designs, where elements with heat-sensitive particles are inlaid in the form of flowers or animals.

Mood-defining rings, for all their benefits, are inexpensive and widely sold.

To make it easier to understand what these or those shades on the ring mean, there is a simple instruction in which only one adjective corresponds to each tone of jewelry. However, one cannot be guided solely by one definition. The body can react differently to certain factors.

The color of a chameleon ring is able to roughly tell what mood its owner is at the moment.

• Green is the most neutral color for decoration. Its owner does not experience any violent emotions. And when it brightens up to salad tones, it means that the person is embarrassed or has romantic feelings.

• Blue indicates a calm state. A person with such a ring feels harmony and is completely balanced.

• Any shade of yellow is a clear sign that the owner is anxious. Before an important and exciting event, the ring on your finger will be orange. An amber tint may indicate that it is difficult for a person to make a vital decision. If the color becomes brown, then you should pay special attention to the owner of the accessory. Perhaps at the moment he needs support.

• Gray is also a sign of anxiety. The darker its shade, the more difficult the emotional state of a person wearing a chameleon ring on his finger. Severe stress and depression make a bright piece of jewelry a jet black object.

• If someone gives such an adornment to their beloved, and putting it on, the ring will acquire a deep purple hue - this is a good sign. This color means that a person is feeling contentment or even falling in love.

• There is still controversy among specialists about red tones. On the one hand, red is a manifestation of unbridled anger, and on the other, a clear sign of love feelings and sexual desire. Two completely opposite states. It will be difficult for someone who wants to figure out what a person's red ring means, because sometimes anger or love feelings have to be carefully hidden. But there is no doubt that a woman or a man with a red chameleon ring is experiencing violent emotions.

You can independently develop instructions for determining the emotional state, based on personal observations. Perhaps, at some moments, the values ​​of the tones of the liquid crystal elements will differ from the generally accepted ones. However, do not forget that the ring changes color due to the physiological characteristics of the body, and not psychological ones.

Those who are lucky enough to have a chameleon ring speak extremely positively about the jewelry. It turned out to be a pleasant purchase or a wonderful gift for them. Owners of color-changing rings note that this accessory is perfect with other jewelry and can be combined with various styles of clothing. It can be worn in the morning when going to work or in the evening when preparing for a gala event. A whimsical piece of jewelry immediately attracts attention and can even become a subject for conversation.

The owners of chameleon rings note that the new accessory helped them understand themselves in some moments. If the ring retains yellow shades for a long time (meaning anxiety), then perhaps something needs to be changed in your life.

However, some customers note that the substrate for the liquid crystal element on the product wears out over time. The low cost of bijouterie manifests itself as a decoration. To keep the ring presentable for a longer time, you can cover its inner part with a colorless varnish.

Everyone, without exception, is interested in watching the incredible changes in the shades of the ring. Even if it does not change tone on a finger for a long time, you can remove it and experiment by applying the ring to cold or warm surfaces.
