Magid seaweed the wall is a concept that was first introduced by the artist, Magid Magid. This concept explores the idea of using seaweed to create sustainable and eco-friendly walls. Seaweed is a type of marine algae that grows in abundance and is known for its ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen. The concept of using seaweed as a building material is not new, as it has been used in various cultures throughout history for its strong and flexible properties. However, Magid seaweed the wall takes this concept to a whole new level by proposing the use of seaweed as a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials like concrete and steel. One of the key advantages of using seaweed as a building material is its renewable nature.
A Guide To Mood-Changing Jewelry
One of my favorite jewels in my teens in the ‘70s were mood rings. They weren’t fine jewelry, but I looked to them like a cheat sheet for my life, along with the Magic Eight Ball (which Marie Lichtenberg designed into a pendant here). While the magic 8 ball would answer my questions (sort of—usually it just told me to ‘ask again later’), mood rings depicted different colors to reveal when I was happy, sad, somewhere in between or in a dark phase. As a teenager, it magically confirmed my inner feelings that sometimes I could not express in words.

So when I found out Mia Moross, the creator, designer and owner of The One I Love NYC was releasing a limited run of Mood Stone Fine Jewelry for the company’s tenth anniversary, I was intrigued by what the collection was going to be. Moross sourced 1970s deadstock mood rings and took the stones out to create custom designs in fine metals for a modern take on a familiar favorite of those who grew up in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Moross explains, “The stones of the rings contain liquid crystals that move and twist based on temperature. Different crystalline patterns absorb and reflect light across the color spectrum. This means that the colors shift in response to the wearer's temperature. And as we all know, our mood can often influence our temperature.”
Moross has reimagined rings and pendants in bold styles that tap into the colors in a more contemporary talismanic and symbolic way— sometimes what emotions would be while wearing the pieces, and other times they offer the energy of what we the wear might want to feel. When I tried one on—it immediately started to change from royal blue for calm to teal for a mix of serenity and revitalization, and then it went to green for balance and harmony—definitely all that I need in my life right now.

Mood Ring Colors and Mood Ring Meanings

Updated on June 01, 2020In 1975, New York inventors Maris Ambats and Josh Reynolds produced the first mood ring. These rings changed color in response to temperature, potentially reflecting the body temperature change associated with the wearer's emotions. The rings were an instant sensation, despite the high price tag. A silver-colored (plated, not sterling silver) ring retailed for $45, although a gold ring was available for $250.
Whether or not the rings were accurate, people were enchanted by the colors produced by the thermochromic liquid crystals. The composition of mood rings has changed since the 1970s, but mood rings (and necklaces and bracelets) are still made today.
Key Takeaways: Mood Ring Colors
- Mood rings contain thermochromic liquid crystals. When the temperature changes, the orientation of the crystals also changes, altering their color.
- Changes in body temperature do accompany different moods, but the jewelry is not a reliable indicator of emotion. The color could easily be due to changes in the external environment.
- While old mood rings had a uniform color charge, modern pigments don't necessarily follow the old pattern. In fact, some modern rings cycle through colors.
One of the key advantages of using seaweed as a building material is its renewable nature. Unlike concrete and steel, which require extensive mining and extraction processes, seaweed can be grown and harvested in large quantities without causing any harm to the environment. Additionally, seaweed has a much lower carbon footprint compared to traditional building materials, as it absorbs carbon dioxide during its growth process.
Chart of Mood Ring Colors and Meanings
This chart shows the colors and meaning of the usual 1970s style of mood ring. Some mood rings use different liquid crystals, which exhibit other colors and respond differently to the heat of your skin. Todd Helmenstine
This chart shows the colors of the typical 1970s mood ring and the meanings associated with the mood ring colors:
- Amber: Nervous, unhappy, cool
- Green: Average, calm
- Blue: Emotions are charged, active, relaxed
- Violet: Passionate, excited, very happy
- Black: Tense, nervous (or broken crystal)
- Gray: Strained, anxious
The color of the warmest temperature is violet or purple. The color of the coolest temperature is black or gray.
Another benefit of using seaweed the wall is its natural ability to regulate temperature and humidity. Seaweed has a unique cell structure that allows it to absorb and release moisture based on the surrounding conditions. This property can help to create a more comfortable and energy-efficient indoor environment by reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling systems. Furthermore, seaweed the wall is also resistant to fire and pest infestations. Seaweed contains natural compounds that make it highly resistant to fire, making it a safer alternative for building construction. Additionally, seaweed is not attractive to pests like termites, which can cause damage to traditional building materials. The concept of Magid seaweed the wall has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry by offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional building materials. As the world continues to face the challenges of climate change and resource depletion, innovative ideas like seaweed the wall can play a crucial role in creating a more sustainable future..
