Single and on the lookout for love? The Pear ring could be the answer to a post-dating app world

“The world’s biggest social experiment” flashes up on the site for the Pear ring. The small, turquoise band is designed to be an indicator of your single relationship status, and could finally kill dating apps once and for all.

And would it be a bad thing? The struggle to find romance in a world where dating apps are dead and hookup culture has taken over needs a solution. “If 1.2 billion singles around the world wore a little green ring on their finger to show they’re single, we wouldn’t need dating apps,” reads the website. By wearing the band out and about, the idea is that an organic meeting shall happen. It is the post-dating app way to find a significant other, all for the price of £19.99. The first release sold out completely, as they include access to events in cities for Pear ring bearers to meet. This may in fact be a solution for getting dating back into the real world and away from the cringe Hinge chats and Tinder swipe-athons. 

It can be worn on any finger, anywhere – perfect for the unexpected meet-cute you have been waiting for. Will you be a part of the 1.2 billion Pear wearers?
