Do you ever feel restless, needing something to do with your hands? I totally get it! I've struggled with fidgeting for as long as I can remember. It can be especially tough when I'm trying to focus or feeling anxious. I've tried everything from stress balls to clicking pens, but nothing seemed quite right. That’s when I started my quest for the perfect fidget ring.
My initial search for a fidget ring wasn't smooth sailing. I started by ordering some inexpensive, thin stainless steel rings online. While the price was appealing, I soon realized that not all fidget rings are created equal. I tried some with multiple beads, but I found myself getting annoyed when the beads would slide all the way around the ring instead of staying in one place. It kind of defeated the purpose of fidgeting! I needed something that provided consistent tactile feedback.
One of my biggest issues was nail biting. I knew I needed a solution that could discreetly keep my hands busy. I needed something that wasn't distracting to others, but still effective for me.
After some trial and error, I discovered a few options that really worked for me. I found some really inexpensive thin ones on Amazon, and would highly recommend those! I also learned about anxiety rings, and decided to give one a try.
I even considered spinner rings, hoping they would provide the right kind of fidgeting experience. I was looking for something that could keep my hands busy without being too distracting. The search led me to explore different materials, designs, and functionalities. It was a learning process, but eventually, I found some solutions that truly helped.
Here are a few types of fidget rings I've found helpful, along with some insights from my own experience:
For my daughter, I purchased an anxiety ring on Etsy a few months ago. It has really helped her not to bite her nails so much. It came in a pastel rainbow color and with a cute macaron container. It is adjustable, but I wasn't sure about the sizing. The seller was very helpful with helping me choose the size.
Through my search, I also stumbled upon a company called My CONQUERing. They have some words that are “spin to reveal,” crystals, and other fun designs. They’re very classy and have multiple ways to fidget. Clicking (while wearing), spinning (off finger). I came to second the vote for Conquering... They have spinners that are secret messages, some that are dressy like crystals and shapes... You can purchase the spinners or 'elements' as they call them and interchange them in different ring bases, necklaces bracelets and earrings. I love them and have found them super helpful.
While fidget rings have been my main focus, I've also discovered that other types of jewelry can provide a similar calming effect. For instance, I recently came across a beautiful necklace from SumsFashion Gear that caught my eye. It wasn't specifically designed as a fidget tool, but its design made it perfect for my needs.
I found this Modian Real 925 Sterling Silver Multicolour Enamel Necklace to be not only beautiful but also subtly helpful. The delicate chain and colorful enamel details are eye-catching, and the length is perfect for gently playing with when I feel restless. It's become a go-to piece for me, especially during long meetings or when I'm feeling overwhelmed. I love how it adds a touch of elegance to my outfit while also providing a discreet way to manage my fidgeting.
The Modian necklace is from SumsFashion, and I have to say, the quality is fantastic. It's made of real 925 sterling silver, so I know it will last. Plus, the multicoloured enamel adds a fun pop of color to any outfit. It's a simple long chain choker, which makes it perfect for layering with other necklaces or wearing on its own. I often find myself absentmindedly adjusting the chain or running my fingers over the enamel details, which helps me stay grounded and focused.
