Girls of the 90s appreciate mood rings like no other generation, but the Radar Mood Rings elevates the cheap albeit nostalgic jewelry piece for all to enjoy. It takes the wearable toy and gives it a luxe and stylish makeover that can be worn on a daily basis by women well beyond their junior high and teenage years.
Designed by Lake & Stars lingerie designer Maayan Zilberman, the Radar Mood Rings was inspired by her own poignant and stubborn attachment to the original rings. As written on her website, "With friends and followers asking for their own mood rings, Maayan decided to design new renditions of the “hippie” accessory in settings inspired by race cars, military watches, ‘70s architecture, and medieval metalwork." They range from $175 to $265.
