There was something so endearing as I placed all my trust in a ring to determine my current mood. I really believed these rings possessed some unexplainable magical power.
The way these rings work actually do have a magical air about them.
According to chemistry.about.com they work as follows:
'Modern mood jewelry is usually made from a flat strip of liquid crystals with a protective coating. The crystals respond to changes in temperature by twisting. The twisting changes their molecular structure, which alters the wavelengths of light that are absorbed or reflected. 'Wavelengths of light' is another way of saying 'color', so when the temperature of the liquid crystals changes, so does their color.' Pretty enchanting right!?

Colour-therapy seems to promise an easy transition into increasing your happiness! I even feel inspired to introduce some colour into my mostly black wardrobe.
