The color change in the thermo-sensitive liquid crystal occurs with changes in body temperature which also does change during a persons mood changes or mood swings. The temperature of the surrounding air will also have an effect on the mood jewelry so it will make a true body temperature reading unreliable.

The Lemieux Group - Department of Chemistry, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario Canada had this to say on how the liquid crystals work:

"a known property of chiral nematic (cholesteric) liquid crystals, is selective reflection of light with a wavelength on the order of the helical pitch p (see Fig. 1). Because the cholesteric pitch varies with temperature, chiral nematics are used as thermosensitive materials in the thermometer strips one finds in modern fish tanks, which read temperature by color changes."

This very same reaction is what occurs with Mood Beads, Mood Jewelry, and Mood Rings.

Mood jewelry / rings was invented (SEE NOTE BELOW) by Joshua Reynolds , who also is know for his invention the Thighmaster. Joshua is heir to the R.J. Reynolds tobacco fortune the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes.

The Mood Beads were New on the Market in 2005

2nd Generation Mood Beads (thermo-sensitive liquid crystal filled polymer making them water proof for the first time) were New on Market in December of 2008

NOTE: Seems to be that maybe Joshua Reynolds was not the inventer of the Mood Ring after all. Seems that he was just one of the largest marketers of the mood ring idea. In the book "Why Didn't I Think of That?". There is a entire chapter on the origin of the Mood Ring along with a short biography on the real creator, Marvin Wernick. Marvin was in the jewelry business and his Mood Rings took the fashion industry by storm. Unfortunately, he neglected to get a patent on it and soon everyone was in on a piece of the action.
