Update of the ring as a status symbol. It shows the number of Google hits you get, when you search for the name of the person who wears it.The Vanity Ring focusses on this development, taking it to an ironic peak. Rings are well known status symbols, and the included jewel’s weight in carat is a comparable value for the personal ranking of its owner (the largest two diamonds are in the British crown jewels). The Vanity Ring doesn’t have a jewel, instead it shows the number of hits one gets, when he searches Google for the name of the person who wears it, a more adequate value in our time. It is personalized using a custom software, and after the name is typed the ring will change its display to show the personal “attention carats”, while every night, when it is inserted into its docking station the ring is reloaded and updated.
