What Are Mood Rings?
Mood rings are fun jewelry accessories that first arrived on the scene back in the 1970s, but you can still find them today in specialty stores and on the internet.
The purpose of these rings is quite simple, even if the science behind them isn't. Mood rings are designed to show how you're feeling anytime you're wearing them. They do this by changing through a series of colors that correlate to a number of individual moods. Let's take one apart and see how it works.
How Does They Work?
Liquid crystals are the secret to the mood ring's changing array of colors. The clear glass stone in the ring is either filled with the liquid crystals or sits directly on top of a thin layer of the substance that has been adhered to a sterling setting.
Liquid crystals are extremely sensitive to heat, and will twist their position in response to a rise or drop in temperature. Light comes in many different wavelengths and each is reflected to our eyes as a different color. The position of the crystals determines which wavelengths of light are absorbed and which are reflected back to us, and this is what makes the stone appear to change color.
