Remember when fidget spinners where…just about everywhere? Anxiety rings serve a similar purpose—just in a chicer package—and have been spotted acrossTikTokin recent months. These pieces are touted by sellers as ways to manage anxiety discreetly and effectively, since they have moving parts that pleasantly turn and twist, enabling the wearer to play with them without attracting attention. According to Dr. Monica Vermani, clinical psychologist and author ofA Deeper Wellness: Conquering Stress, Mood, Anxiety and Traumas,they might actually work. She tells us, “The key to lowering anxiety through any device, be it a piece of jewelry, or a fidget toy is the intention of the user. When we associate an object with positive coping and soothing, it becomes just that. We’ve [likely] heard the phrase, ‘What you focus on expands.’ When we turn to comfort food for comfort, it works. When we focus on using a ring, a bracelet, a gemstone or a fidget spinner… that device calms us,” she says. Shop anxiety ringsright here.
