Chameleon Ring
What it is
A chameleon ring is a piece of jewelry that changes color depending on body temperature. For the first time, such an invention was invented by a jeweler from the United States, Marvin Warnick, in 1974. This idea was prompted by a thermometer based on liquid crystal elements that change their optical properties when heated or cooled. The American master began to use liquid crystals for the production of jewelry, which had long been used in medicine for ultrasound diagnostics of tumors, inflammation, and pressure measurement. Warnick patented his invention, and it has firmly entered the fashion world.
The color-changing decorative product has become incredibly popular, especially among young people who always strive to follow the latest fashion trends. In addition, such jewelry began to be actively bought by people who believe in the magical properties of wrist jewelry and signs of fate. Many attributed magic to chameleon rings. Since Marvin Warnick did not immediately patent his invention, many other manufacturers around the world soon began to produce similar products, the rings gained wide popularity, which subsided only by the beginning of the 2000s. But today this product is quite famous in the fashion world, especially for people who value originality and unusual functions in jewelry.
Meaning of colors
Changes in the color of the chameleon ring mean not only changes in the owner's body temperature, but also his mood, the presence or absence of inner harmony. Scientists have long proven the connection between the physical state of the body and emotional balance. Therefore, this principle works as a detector for both the owner and the surrounding people.
Different researchers interpret the meanings of the colors of the chameleon ring in different ways. From the numerous descriptions, you can highlight the general characteristics for each shade.
If the color of the decoration is blue, then this indicates the complete harmony of the inner world. The wearer can be sure that he is as balanced and physically healthy as possible.
Green promotes calm and balance. According to the characteristics of the state of mind, it is closest to the color blue.
The yellow tint of the ring indicates excessive excitement, a tendency to anger. With such a sign, you should calm down, pull yourself together.
Brown color will indicate that the owner has experienced some kind of trouble or mental hardship. This is a weakness of the aura, in which a person needs support from others.
The black color of the ring is a symbol of aggression, depression or apathy. In any case, this is a negative signal, observing which, it is necessary to conduct an internal analysis and take measures to normalize one's internal state.
The amber hue of this attribute can be interpreted in a double sense. First, it is uncertainty when a person has to make a choice between two options. Secondly, it may be evidence of fatigue.

Purple symbolizes happiness and contentment. You can often observe such an indication of a ring in people who are in love or who have achieved some significant result, who have won something important.
Different experts have conflicting views on the meaning of the red hue of the chameleon ring. If some associate passion with it, then others talk about the anger of its owner, and still others generally associate this color with insecurity.
And, finally, the orange color speaks of the excitement or impudence of the owner of the accessory. Experiences before some important life event - this is exactly the reason for coloring the ring in such a range.

Varieties of models
As a rule, a mood ring is made in a modest design, without gemstones or other decorations. The material of manufacture is metal alloys: silver, gold, copper, palladium. A liquid crystal thermosensitive element is inserted inside the frame.

A more expensive model of the indicator ring is a sophisticated piece of art. Its top is made in the form of an animal - a chameleon, whose body consists of many small stones in a frame. It looks very impressive, but one cannot be sure of the correctness of the indications of the owner's condition due to its complex design.

The surface can be engraved with the inscription "Save and Preserve". It is best to purchase such products in churches and monasteries where they are consecrated.
