@merpreb The opportunity to manipulate the little ring gives me a way to "burn off" excess emotion/nerves, and is something I can control. To almost anyone else, it is simply a decoration, with no link to a calming device. When I am in a situation with anxiety, or masking, or high emotion, knowing that there sits a simple device to aid me, gives me comfort. Don't know if this makes sense, or not.

@gingerw- It makes perfect sense. Thank you. Do you tune out what's going around you for a bit while doing this?
