Designer Li Jianye has created a set of rings which serve as a miniature advising counsel next to your cuticle. The set of four includes, with meanings in parentheses, a hexagon spanner (always remember tightening your relationship), a cruciform screwdriver (never screw up your relationship with a loved one), a number 1 file (smoothen your relationship with care when necessary) and a 30 mm ruler (by doing this you will be closer than 30 mm).
A bit cheesy for your taste? Me too, but who cares? That’s love.
