Designer Li Jianye has created a [set of rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-ring) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titanium-mechanical-ring)), a cruciform screwdriver (never screw up your [relationship with a loved one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-heart-love-link-necklace)), 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.
