In ancient beliefs, my grandparents would tie a string around their finger to think positive way and eliminate the bad luck that people caught an eye when we do something great. Now, I am happy that string does the same reminder of something that absolutely needed to be done! It was believed that the string kept the idea from escaping!
A String-Ring came in a wee little package, which I never dreamt could possibly contain the joy and happiness that it so easily spreads.
The String-Ring is a silver wrap around ring with four holes in it. Through these holes is threaded colored string (yes, like our Grandmas used to do).
”The String-Ring is a ring designed to be threaded with a piece of string, then used as a cue to remind yourself and those who notice it, to be kind to one another. To do a kind act, say, or even think something kind. Each color of string represents a specific kindness reminder.” ~ From the insert that came with my String-Ring. ~
This ring is absolutely beautiful as it’s sterling silver, and a nice thickness, so it’s not the least bit flimsy, and I can stretch it a bit to wear on nearly any finger. The rings do come in different sizes (S-M-L), so you if prefer to wear one on a middle or index finger, talk to the folks at String-Ring about what size you should order.
The ring came in a lovely little bag that’s cotton and looks very eco friendly. There is also a polishing cloth, about 20 pieces of colored string and a couple of little stickers that state “Kindness Works!” and “Pass it on!” At the website you can find the instructions for tying the string and the color meanings.
The String-Ring really does make a difference! I have noticed it after only a short time. It’s clever, it’s different, it’s eye-catching and beautiful, and best of all, it’s designed to help us remember that “kindness matters” and everything we do throughout our day affects us as well as those around us.

I learned that Tina, the designer, was inspired by the need for a “kindness program” while
volunteering at her son’s school.
Thank you for the contest.
I learned on this website that their blog “The Kindness Community” has lots of interesting posts dealing with kindness, goodness, volunteering, making a difference. Very interesting!
I learned that “The Peace and Love message of the Sixties Movement felt appropriate for our branding, so we modernized the peace symbol and came up with the Pass It On! tag line (sort of “Pay It Forward”).”

“I’ve observed, through personal experience or news programming, such violent behavior as road rage, campus rampages, ugly office politics, weapons and threats in the schools, most recently cyber bullies, and simply just a basic lack of respect in our everyday interactions with those around us.” I could not agree more with their reasoning behind this great company idea.
