The Emerald Ring is a credit furniture released as part of the Diamonds Credit Furni. It costs 1000 Diamonds and is worth 100 Credits when redeemed.
On 7th June 2016 there was an international credit controversy when it was discovered that a glitched version of the emerald ring had been accidentally uploaded to the catalogue's Diamond Reward section of every hotel, not for the usual 1000 Diamonds, but instead for 1000 Duckets. Duckets were a freely obtainable currency in Habbo which meant that Habbo's could then convert 1000 Duckets to 100 credits by purchasing the Emerlad Ring and then redeeming it for 100 Credits.
Habbo staff soon caught wind of the exploit and on Habbo.de decided to tradelock Habbos who had purchased them. Elsewhere, Habbos had their Emerald Rings bought in this way removed, and in addition, any credits earned by exchanging them. In some cases Habbo overestimated this and took hundreds, sometimes thousands of credits from Habbo accounts that they had claimed to have bought or earned trading legitimately before the glitch. Habbo initially announced on Twitter that the credits would not be restored, but it's understood that most were later on, whilst Duckets spent on the Emerald Rings were also reinstated.
