#7: One (Chess) Ring to Rule Them All
This has to be one of the coolest objects we’ve ever seen. A craftsman named Joe Turner created what he calls “the world’s smallest chess set.” We don’t know if it’s actually the smallest chess set out there, but it’s definitely one-of-a-kind. This ring opens up to reveal tiny chess pieces nestled in a velvet container.
The pieces are so small that several of them can fit on the surface of a penny. The chess board is printed on the front of the ring, leaving the pieces safely hidden from view. The game isn’t actually usable, as it would be pretty hard to play an entire game of chess on someone’s finger. However, this unique and neat invention is a delight to look at.
