GLAMOUR MAGAZINE – The Pear Ring, a small blue-light ring, is being marketed as an alternative to dating apps that helps people see who is single around them, encouraging IRL connections. The ring costs £19.99 and comes with a unique membership number, invitations to PearFest and access to free events in their city. The company behind the ring claims to have sold ~83% of their original stock, suggesting there is demand for alternatives to dating apps. While some social media users are excited by the concept, others have raised concerns about unintended or intended harassment and whether colour-blind people will be excluded from the social experiment.
