How to Make Mood Rings

Remember the times, when you used rings as an identification for your "group of friends", or as a mark of love and friendship? We all must have used these simple rings as souvenirs to express our affection towards someone, or simply for fun! I am talking about the interesting mood rings, which are known for their phenomenon of changing color as per our moods. Well, the reality of the phenomenon is something else, as the ring contains a liquid crystal stone which is thermochromic in nature.

Thermochromic means sensitive to temperature and the stone changes color depending on these temperature changes. When this stone is used to make a ring, it comes in contact with the wearer's body temperature and depending on that, changes color. The ring was invented by 2 New Yorkers, Josh Reynolds and Maris Ambats in 1975 and was purchased by a number of people instantly. If you too, are a huge fan of these mood rings and want to know how these function, you can make them at home in a few simple steps. Read on to find out how to make mood rings.
