Measuring Tape Ring
I have AuDHD, so naturally my hobby is collecting hobbies (kidding, but not really). One of those hobbies is sewing, and I sometimes find myself misplacing my measuring tape or my rulers in the chaos when I'm pattern drafting or cutting fabric. (I swear I place them on the table in front of me and all of a sudden it's like it fell down a wormhole and reappeared in the pantry.) So when I was thinking of ideas for "out-of-the-box" rings, I came to the idea of making a wearable, retractable measuRING tape :) The other idea I had was for a mini retractable bo staff hidden inside something like a class ring/signet ring purely because it'd be hilarious as a conversation starter if I could just whip out a little bo staff mid-conversation. For the measuring tape, I actually ended up reverse engineering one of my small measuring tapes, which, yay call back to the previous project! I studied the main components it had, mainly the parts used to retract the tape, and did my best to translate it into fitting inside a ring casing. This is something I want to continue refining because I would really, really love to make this into a reality.
