For those that absolutely love the game of chess, there is this dainty ring design that features a minuscule -- but fully functional and playable -- set of chess embedded right inside. The ring's design features both the board and all the players need to play a strategic game of chess while on-the-go.
Chess is a great game to test the mind and is ideal to play when you have downtime to kill. This ring made from sterling silver features a wide square design compartment that features 32 fully carved chess pieces tucked inside. The lid of the compartment features the checked chess board that the pieces can be set up on to play. The ring is a one-of-a-kind design by Arduosity and while all the pieces needed to play a game of chess, it is apparently nearly impossible to on such a small scale.
