Different coloured blocks could personalise the ring so that the user can express themselves for different occasions or different days.
This concept allows the ring to change colour depending on what mood the user is in.
This is rather a femenine peice of jewelry prehaps aimed more at females but with the same ideas for different coloured mood change.
Again more of a femenine ring but the colour will change depending on the emotion of the person.
A personalised ring adding different coloured hearts on for different days of the week again a female ring but could be designed further to allow males to wear one. It also bends to the shape of your finger.
Messages will appear on the ring such as the users temprature, adreneline rate and heart rate.
This ring stores information via a memory chip that sits on top of the ring.
Messages would scroll along the ring updating information with different colour associations for temprature, adreneline and heart rate etc... with the diffrent colours alerting the user what its updating visually.
Changes colour of the emotion and also is easy to store as it pulls appart.
