Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What are Fidget Rings / Anxiety Rings?
Fidget rings are handcrafted jewelry designed to help people manage stress, anxiety, and nervous behavior. They often have moving elements that can be calming. By playing or rotating the glass beads, people can distract their attention from unpleasant thoughts or the urge to pick/pick/chew their fingernails.
It's best to wear the ring on your index finger, as this is the most comfortable position to play with the beads and distract yourself when you're nervous.
How does an anxiety ring / anti-stress ring work?
If you feel restless, tense or nervous inside, you can play with the moving beads that provide tactile stimulation to your fingers. These can help to release pent-up tension in moments of unrest. You can find a detailed description of how to use it here: How do I use the Fidget Ring?
It is best to wear the ring on your index finger, as this is the most comfortable position to play with the pearls and distract yourself when you are nervous.
Can Fidget Rings / Anxiety Rings / Anti Stress Rings also help children?
Anti stress rings can be a helpful option for children, provided there is no risk of choking. Some parents have already ordered fidget rings for their children from us and report positive experiences.
There are currently no specific studies on the effectiveness of fidget rings for children. Science shows that a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approaches can help. Fidget rings can play a complementary role and what works best may vary from child to child. It is advisable to try different methods to find out which works best.
Material and Care
How do I care for my anti-stress ring?
Rings in the color silver are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is known for its resistance to rust and discoloration. Stainless steel rings are waterproof. You can wear them while washing your hands, showering and swimming.
Rings in Gold consist of a brass core that I have gold-plated with a thick layer, unless otherwise stated. The durability of the gold coating depends on how it is worn, among other things.
💛 The intensive movement of the beads creates mechanical friction, which can rub off the gold coating. Roll the beads gently from top to bottom.
💧 Avoid contact with chemicals and take off the ring beforehand. Perfume, hairspray, cleaning products, lotion and chlorine can damage the gold coating of the ring
💧 Dry your rings thoroughly after exercise or after contact with water, as moisture and sweat can cause the color of the ring to change.
Unfortunately, freshwater pearls can lose their shine when they come into contact with chemicals. To restore the shine, you can use special pearl care cloths or a soft cloth with a little water and a few drops of soap. Mild olive oil can also help to refresh the pearls.
Are the anti-stress rings waterproof?
The rings in the color silver are made of stainless steel and are waterproof. Stainless steel is known for its resistance to rust and discoloration. These rings can be worn while washing hands, showering and swimming.
The rings in the color gold consist of a brass core that I have gold-plated with a thick layer, unless otherwise stated. The durability of the gold coating depends on how it is worn and can wear off over time. This natural process cannot be prevented. In this case, you can re-gold-plate your ring for €11.99 ( refresh the gold plating ). For long-lasting gold-colored rings, I recommend 585 gold, which is in a higher price segment, around € 200 - € 300.
If you are interested in a ring made of 585 gold, please send me a message to hi[at]craftycare.de. For gold-plated rings, I recommend removing them before washing your hands, showering and swimming.
Can I get my gold ring replated?
You can have any ring by Crafty Care gold-plated. I use 999 fine gold for replating. Order the gold replating service here: Have your gold ring replated
My gold ring is turning dark. What is the reason for this? What can I do?
Rings in the color gold consist of a brass core that I have gold-plated thick layer. The durability of the gold plating depends, among other things, on how it is worn. For this reason, I recommend following the care instructions.
If your ring turns dark, this may be a sign that the gold plating has worn off over time. Get your ring replated.
Alternatively, you can clean the ring as follows:
- Mix white vinegar and salt with warm water.
- Soak a soft cloth in the mixture.
- Rub the ring with the cloth.
- Rinse the ring with warm water and dry it thoroughly.
You can also use a metal polish such as Elsterglanz with a polishing cloth. You can get this at a DIY or construction store.
Ring size
How do I determine my ring size?
Each ring is handmade by me to order. Before completing your order, make sure you select the correct ring size. The right fit is crucial for a comfortable wearing experience and avoids additional costs for resizing.
Measure your finger circumference using a ring measuring tape. You can get a free ring measuring tape from various providers: Get a free ring measuring tape
If your ring size is not included, you can contact me by email at hi[at]craftycare.de. With Crafty Care I want to create an inclusive offer. We will find a solution :)
Which finger is best for wearing the anti-stress ring?
It is best to wear the Anti Stress Ring on a finger that is closest to the movement of picking or nail biting. I prefer to wear the Anti Stress Ring on my index finger because I can play with the beads there. Alternatively, I also like to wear a midi ring on my index finger that sits comfortably between the upper knuckles. Make sure to choose the right size for the midi ring so it doesn't get lost.
Others like to wear the anti-stress ring on their thumb. Choose a position that is most comfortable for you 💜

What can I do if my order has not arrived within the expected delivery time?

from 92 reviewsIch liebe den Ring, er hilft mir total um nicht mehr an den Nägeln zu kauen. Dabei ist er super dezent und fällt wirklich kaum auf. Er ist im Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken. Das wird definitiv nicht die letzte Bestellung gewesen sein!
Ich habe diesen Ring für meine Tochter gekauft. Sie hat bereits ein anderes Modell und ist sehr zufrieden. Sie trägt ihn immer, wenn es im Job sehr stressig ist und schwört auf die positive Wirkung.
