(ALMOST) GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: MOOD RINGS

Everything Croton continues its very popular series GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN....and so without further ah-doo...

BACK ONLINE-----Remember Mood Rings? Created in 1975, the rings initially retailed for $45 for a "silvery setting" and $250 for gold--they originally sold in Bonwit Teller and later there were less expensive versions (click on the vintage ad).

They enjoyed enormous popularity in the 1970's and can occasionally still be found today.

For those who don't know, a mood ring contains a thermochromic element, such as liquid crystal, that changes colors based upon the temperature of the finger of the wearer.

The rings originally came with a color chart indicating the supposed mood of the wearer based on the changing colors----and while they will probably never enjoy the popularity---and novelty--that they did in the 70's, they are still being made today. Read more here.
