Rings for Singles and Divorcees?
We grow up with all of the hype around wedding rings and engagement rings, but what about for the individuals who have been divorced or are still single? No one would have thought about making a ring for them…except for someone already has! Wanda Dibben is a 41-year-old woman that was married for 13 years. After divorcing, she found that she was so attached to her wedding rings that she didn’t want to give it up, so she transformed it. She went to a jeweler and simply asked if they could transform it into a “divorce ring”. She figured that it could be buffered to represent her new-found independence and help with her healing.
So the jeweler removed the gold band and restructured it into a ring that had a gap, across which strands of silver are stitched. The strands are representations of her son, Trevor who is 14 years old; “because although the bonds have been broken, the stitches still keep that unity together,” she said.
Okay, so divorce rings aren’t exactly a fad just yet, but who knows what the future will bring. You can already see them around, such as the singles’ ring, which is a silver band with a Mars or Venus symbol on it. Then there are some rings that are made for gay and straight people. The purpose of these rings is to show the world that you are an empowered individual and available to meet people like yourself.
One designer in particular that is participating in this new trend is Harold Thompson, the founder of D Jewelry Company. He offers divorce rings for sale.
