SPINNER RINGS
Spinner rings (or worry rings) find their basis in ancient Tibetan prayer wheels. These highly unusual rings have an outer band which manually spins freely around the inner ring. The motion of the outer ring is told to give the wearer a special ‘calming’ effect – hence the alternative name of ‘worry ring.’
The special “calming” effect which sometime helps in the aid of anxiety and worries has been shown to be useful to older children as well as adults. Occastionally, these spinner rings can be referred to as worry rings, turn rings, turning rings, prayer rings or motion rings. Because spinner rings require two independent rings to work, they typically are found in larger sizes online in many different styles and designs.
MATERIALS
Most styles of spinner rings are made from sterling silver – not only because of the inherent value and beauty of sterling silver, but also sterling can withstand much of the friction caused from rubbing and spinning. Softer metals, such as Gold, are not good candidates for spinner style rings due to issues with wear, friction and bending. When seeking a spinner ring, look for the hallmarks of 0.925, 925 or ‘Sterling’ to indicate silver purity. Avoid spinner rings that are gold plated or may be made from more common materials such as Stainless Steel, Pewter or Iron.
