Anxiety and stress can creep up on anyone, and there are various ways to manage it; yoga and meditation, journaling, therapy, some may take medication, herbal remedies, use pulse point oil, or exercise.
In recent years there has been an increase in people using fidget rings to calm their nervous hands, even Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid and Olivia Rodrigo have reportedly been spotted with the anxiety-reducing accessory.
A fidget ring aims to keep the hands busy, instead of chewing your fingernails, picking at the skin, your hair, but in a subtle way. Abbott Lyon has created a stylish accessory that will help to soothe the mind and body, but also look great on your fingers too.
Crafted from stainless steel, and plated in 18k gold if you opt for the gold version, for a sturdy and stylish design. The chunky ring appears like two rings, and the inner ring rotates to help alleviate anxiety. The inner band can be personalised with up to six characters, symbols or precious stones.Available in gold, silver, or a hybrid of both, it also comes in four sizes. BUY NOW FOR £79
The Abbott Lyon Fidget Ring is part of Olivia Attwood's collection with the jewellery brand, and this partnership is fitting as Olivia has been open about her battle with ADHD and anxiety.
The Fidget Ring looks like two rings in one as the main band measures 7mm while the second band layered on top, which rotates, is 4mm.
Whether you select the gold, silver, or hybrid of both, the ring boasts a durable stainless steel base, which is then plated in 18k gold – if you opt for the gold version, of course.
It has been made from 60% recycled materials, which is a more eco-conscious option than other rings. It is water, sweat and heat resistant, which means you don't have to take it off in the sun or to wash. The best part is it is tarnish-free, thanks to the anti-tarnish protective coating, which is an essential in our jewellery style book.
Now you may have guessed by the name this ring can be personalised, which is another huge selling point in our opinion for those that want a sentimental touch to the design, especially if it is a gift. The rotating wheel of the ring can be personalised with up to six letters, symbols or birthstones. Even if this ring is only a gift to yourself, having a name or symbol may also help to alleviate your mind when things get overwhelming, so we think this is a clever touch.
The ring is available in four sizes, and you can get assistance online to help find the perfect fit. More Trending
There is another bonus. Abbott Lyon is offering customers a two-year warrant on your purchase. However, we doubt you'll need it after reading customers' reviews.
Lauren simply put it: 'Top quality, amazing product.'
A separate shopper, Dan, wrote: 'This was the item I came looking for, my wife has seen fidget rings before, picked up and tried some on at various jewellery craft markets. She liked them, but they were never quite what she was looking for – this one from Abbott Lyon is spot on, clean lines, modern aesthetic and the fidget rotation/movement is smooth. The stamps and personalisation MAKE this item. Choose the stamps carefully and you can make a cute message or meaning with the symbols available. Was a birthday present for my wife, she has worn it everyday since.'
While Donna shared: 'My daughter suffers from anxiety, this is so perfect and not too flashy even her school has allowed her to wear it.'

All five episodes of 'chilling' Netflix top 10 crime thriller streaming now
Netflix's new thriller Baby Farm has taken the streamer by storm, debuting at number six in the UK's top 10 TV shows. The five-episode Nollywood drama was recently added to the streaming platform globally. It follows The Evans Foundation, run by expatriate Dr. Oliver Evans and his devoted wife, Sister Barb, which is an organisation claiming to 'help the community'. The synopsis continues: 'But beneath their benevolent appearances lies a sinister operation that exploits women for profit,' as the TV show title indicates with its disturbing connotations. The Nigerian crime drama, starring Rita Dominic and Joseph Benjamin, focuses on the story of a pregnant Adanna (Onyinye Odokoro) who is saved from the streets of Lagos by the charitable organisation but soon realises that everything is not as it seems. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Black Film Wire described the show – which some have compared to shows like The Handmaid's Tale – as a 'five-episode Nigerian crime thriller that doesn't just rattle your nerves, it leaves them in a puddle on the floor.' 'The series draws chilling parallels to real-life horrors, grounded by a powerful performance from Onyinye Odokoro as Adanna, a woman pushed to the edge, yet never backing down. 'But it's Genoveva Umeh that left me cold. Her portrayal of Ebun isn't just haunting—it's the kind of performance that burrows under your skin and refuses to leave: layered, grounded, and absolutely haunting,' the publication added. 'I really enjoyed every minute of Baby Farm' X user oluwabanke said. 'This show is great give us more like this,' plaintainchoiice added. Although you'll have to decide for yourself whether this show keeps you 'captivated' with some reviews calling it 'unoriginal' and 'too restrained'. Executive producer Mo Abudu, who is also the boss of the company EbonyLife TV that created the show in collaboration with Netflix, explained the significance of the show. More Trending Per Deadline, he said: 'This series is more than just a thriller – it's a powerful story rooted in real-life issues told through the lense of bold, cinematic African storytelling. 'With breathtaking visuals, a gripping narrative and an outstanding cast and crew, Baby Farm will keep audiences on the edge of their seats while sparking vital conversations. We can't wait for the world to experience it.' Heidi Ulys, supervising producer, added: ' Baby Farm is our darkest [show] yet. It's a gripping, cinematic journey into a world few dare to explore. Yet, within the shadows, there is light – because storytelling has the power to reveal, to challenge, and to inspire change Baby Farm is available to stream on Netflix now. Got a story?

Most disastrous WWE match ever when Undertaker almost died on live TV
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The Undertaker has been involved in some of WWE's greatest moments in history, with an almost unrivalled legacy. However, the decorated legend almost died in the middle of the ring during one of the wrestling world's most disastrous matches against fellow Hall of Famer Goldberg. Back in 2019, the two WWE icons faced off in the searing Saudi Arabia heat in the main event of Super ShowDown in a bout which fans, and the stars themselves, would rather forget. Goldberg collided with the steel corner early on and appeared to suffer a concussion, and almost dropped Undertaker on his head when he hoisted him up for his signature Jackhammer move. 'I was two inches away from making my wife a widow, and my kids fatherless,' Undertaker revealed in 2020's The Last Ride documentary. Fans watching were incredibly nervous, and referee Mike Chioda had a huge call to make at the massive stadium show. 'I almost had to call an audible [to end the match],' he exclusively told Metro in 2021. 'It went downhill after Goldberg got gashed open in the turnbuckle, got concussed. 'He was badly concussed and he got through the match, but barely. That's when I was kinda worried.' He recalled seeing both superstars 'almost break their necks' with the Jackhammer attempt, and veteran referee Chioda was waiting to see if there were any instructions to end the bout in his earpiece. He added: 'I was waiting to hear back from somebody to say, 'should I call this match or not because he's not doing good at all?' ' A few months after the bout, in October 2019, Goldberg – who will be in action for his retirement match against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER on July 12 – defended his performance in light of the injury. 'When I know the whole deal and everything, it's like, come on guys. Give me a break – I knocked myself out, dude,' he told Metro during an event in Los Angeles. 'Now let me see you walk down the street – let alone pick up a 320lbs dude – when you're knocked out.' Goldberg has said in the past that Chioda repeatedly checked on him, while the former WWE official noted that Undertaker had the final say about whether to continue or not. 'I would definitely listen to Undertaker. If he told me to do something, it'd be done, and then we'd have to take back there. It would be done,' he said, while pointing out the money at stake. As well as WWE being paid huge sums for the Saudi Arabia events, it's been reported that both men received seven figure paydays for the match. 'You ain't stopping a match like that unless you're told to,' Chioda laughed during another conversation with Metro in January this year. Things could have been very different, with former WWE superstar Elias – who know works for TNA Wrestling as Elijah – originally planned as Undertaker's opponent for the show. He exclusively told Metro in 2024: 'I can remember Vince [McMahon] said, 'Hey, you're gonna be working with Taker'. Taker pulled me aside, he's like, 'Hey, man, we're gonna go do some business at Saudi, we're gonna have some fun.' ' Plans changed, with Goldberg drafted in for what Elias referred to as an 'infamous match'. 'My personal opinion is, it would have went way better with me and [Undertaker] and a lot safer, probably,' he added. 'But, you know, that's how history goes sometimes.' The match went the way it did, finishing in just under 10 minutes with both men managing to walk away relatively unscathed, but both with a point to prove. 'It was very important to nobody but me,' Goldberg said of the wanting to rebuild his reputation. 'People were very critical of me, and I'll be honest, I never really respond to it.' A few weeks later, he faced off with Dolph Ziggler, now known as Nic Nemeth in TNA, in a dominant bout with the aim of getting back some 'self-confidence'. Metro's WWE expert Alistair McGeorge reflects on the match and its fallout… Even going into the match, Goldberg and The Undertaker had their work cut out for them, with the Dead Man being honest about his own physical limitations at the time, while his opponent was never known for five star matches. It was evident things had gone south quickly when Goldberg hit his head in the corner, and I can still remember panicking as he struggled to get 'Taker up for the Jackhammer. The vitriol online was predictable but intense, and it's safe to say the bout is remembered for all the wrong reasons. Thankfully, both men were able to atone for the match, with Goldberg looking more like his intense old self when he beat Ziggler a couple of months later at SummerSlam. His output since then has been mixed, but a final match next month against GUNTHER at Saturday Night's Main Event is the perfect way for him to go out. For Undertaker, he ended his career a year after the Goldberg match, beating AJ Styles in the cinematic Boneyard Match – a tonne of fun to watch as a fan, and a befitting end to his legendary career. 'Not for anyone else,' he pointed out. 'But I just needed to go out there and go through the motions, and know just 'cause you stumble once, [it] doesn't define you.' He added: 'It's a blessing and it's a curse. I'm never happy, but I'm always striving to be better than anybody else… [The Ziggler match] helped me out a lot.' Similarly, Undertaker didn't want to retire after the Goldberg match, and it wasn't until his cinematic horror movie-esque Boneyard Match with AJ Styles at WrestleMania in April 2020 that he found his closure. 'I was very proud of the match and what we were able to do,' he exclusively told Metro in May 2023. 'I wasn't mentally ready to retire, but I knew my body was getting to the point that I needed to,' he recalled. Around 10 months after the Goldberg match, Undertaker realised in a 'moment of clarity' he would have to call time on his career. More Trending 'It was about 4 in the morning and we were between one fight scene and another. My back is completely locked up, I've got pain shooting down my legs. That's when I knew I was done, I was for sure, 100% done,' he said. 'It was physical, we did some really big stunts, but I shouldn't have felt, at that point, the way that I did. It was just that moment of clarity… ''Let's finish it, enjoy what you're gonna do here because this is it.' I'm really proud of what we did in that match, but yeah, that was the moment that I knew it was all over.' View More » All WWE events are available to stream on Netflix. Got a story?

We would never have got together if our partners hadn't died
Standing in our hotel room in Colchester, my girlfriend Emma and I should have been excited for our weekend break. Unfortunately, she was in tears instead. Something I'd said on the journey earlier had clearly upset her and while I can't remember the exact words I used, I do know that it concerned my previous partner and how she did things 'differently' when dealing with close family. Bringing up, let alone comparing, a former lover to your new partner is taboo for any relationship for this exact reason. But for us it was a bit more complex… Emma and I are both widowed. Emma's husband had died of a brain tumour in 2006 and I lost my wife Vikki to breast cancer a year after that. So, though we never mean it to, sometimes the past has a habit of coming back to haunt the present. Love had been the furthest thing from both our minds when our paths crossed in 2008. In fact, it happened completely by chance. Our children were in the same class at school, and we initially met at her daughter's birthday party. Our first conversation was very direct – we talked about other people's reactions to grief and we seemed to click straight away. Love reading juicy stories like this? Need some tips for how to spice things up in the bedroom? Sign up to The Hook-Up and we'll slide into your inbox every week with all the latest sex and dating stories from Metro. We can't wait for you to join us! I really liked her – she seemed clever, funny and fearless – and I thought she was gorgeous, too. I could immediately envisage a deeper relationship – it really was in that instant – but I dismissed it because it seemed too easy. How could a lovely, amazing woman who understood me, be a widow, too? On reflection though, it was my own cynicism and confidence that was the problem. After having a tough time for so long, I had to allow myself to accept that something wonderful could happen to me again, that I truly deserved a new and happy life. When we finally did get together, other people were so clearly pleased at our 'Hollywood ending' that they'd take me aside at parties to express how delighted they were. Of course, we were happy too. While grief was obviously a large part of what brought us together in the first place, we were also wrapped up in the newness of the relationship. It was such a relief just to share with someone again, have fun, be normal – simple things like going to the cinema, enjoying coastal walks, playing board games with the kids – it was all such a change after years of hospital treatments, scans and test results; of feeling like your life was on a permanent cliff edge. And yes, it helped that she and I both understood each other in a way our friends and family couldn't – there was nothing wrong with that, on the contrary, it was great. We knew what it felt like getting through those painful early anniversaries – the birthdays and Christmases. We understood how it felt to just get up on an average day and for no apparent reason, feel the sudden crushing weight of loss again. However, a year or so in, an agitating, niggling voice began to rear its head. From there, the inevitable complications, doubts, worries, insecurities – which I suppose had always been there – became more prominent. Was our attraction just a smokescreen? Did we really share more than tragedy and pain and a pretty good feel for the relative merits of oak versus oak-and-copper funeral caskets? Or was death such a big part of our relationship it was all we really had in common? In both cases it wasn't our choice to end our relationships with our previous partners, so how could we ever properly love a new partner when we'd never decided to stop loving the previous one? Then there was the fact that, though we avoided the untidiness and sense of bitterness that clouds some divorces, there was something else just as potent that we had to contend with: The deification of the deceased. You can't compete with a dead person. They don't make mistakes and it's a natural tendency to edit the past – the untidy bits, the poor bits – to paint those gone in a rosy hue somewhere in the region of perfection, and that's exactly what I did in that moment of thoughtlessness in that Colchester hotel room. My Life in a Garden: Love, Loss and Mulch: A Single Dad Seeks Answers in Nature by Carl Gorham (Ireton Press, £8.99) and available from all good book retailers Thankfully, I recognised what I'd done immediately and apologised, and she accepted and we moved past it. One of the things that we've both carried forward from our shared past is the inability to hold grudges. To this day, Emma and I rarely argue and, if we do, one of us stops it almost instantly – not because we're saints but because after everything we've been through, we know this time together is so precious and we'd rather not waste it. That's one of the reasons why in the end we haven't let our double bereavement overwhelm us. That, and the fact that there is so much more to our relationship than our common experience of losing a partner. We make each other happy. We make each other laugh. We're interested in each other, engaged by each other. We miss each other when we're apart. More Trending So, while it's true we wouldn't have got together if our partners hadn't died, we also certainly wouldn't have survived this long if we hadn't shared a lot more. In fact, our relationship, far from being weakened or undermined by our shared history, has in some ways, been strengthened by it. We have a better perspective when everyday things go wrong; we have a sort of measure against which we assess things and once you've looked on helplessly while your partner slips away, it turns out that bar ends up being pretty high. Life is very short, and we don't want to let any more of it slip by. We want to live. We want to flourish. We want to have fun. And that, for everyone, whether widowed or not, is surely the ultimate goal. Do you have a story you'd like to share? Get in touch by emailing Share your views in the comments below.
