Being an adult is so stupid 😐
I'm case you're wondering about the different types of rings:
Signet: Engraved seal pressed into hot wax for signatures.
Pillbox: Features a secret hinged compartment for hidden toxins.
Posy: Simple gold band engraved with hidden love poetry.
Gimmel: Interlocking mechanical puzzle bands joined at weddings.
Fede: Distinctive design featuring two clasped hands.
Toadstone: Mythical toad-brain fossil believed to detect poison.
Iconographic: Detailed religious engravings of saints to ward off bad luck.
Memento Mori: Features skulls to serve as a constant reminder of death.
