Emily Ratajkowski embraces the trend of divorce rings, know all about this jewellery trend

Women may give up on men, but not on their diamonds. Recently, the concept of divorce rings has gained popularity on the Internet highlighted by American model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, who recently shared pictures of her divorce rings on Instagram.

The 32-year-old decided to buck the stereotype of returning an engagement ring after the end of a marriage when she recast her two-stone diamond ring from ex-husband, producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, 36.

What are divorce rings?

In pictures, Emily showcases her engagement ring restyled into two separate rings, challenging the norm of returning an engagement ring after a marriage ends.

In an interview with Vogue,' the actor said “The rings represent my evolution. I don’t think a woman should be stripped of her diamonds just because she’s losing a man.” She went on to reveal that she got the idea of repurposing her ring while reading Stephanie Danler’s essay The Unravelers in The Paris Review.

While divorce rings may seem like a passing jewellery fad, their popularity signifies a cultural shift towards openly acknowledging and celebrating separations.

Shortly after the post gained traction online, jewellery designer Alison Chemla, creative director of Alison Lou, claimed credit for pioneering these rings.

Prior to Ratajkowski's Instagram reveal, divorce rings were already a well-known concept in the West. Several jewellery stores in New York have been offering breakup and divorce jewellery for the past 2-3 years.
