Would you wear a divorce ring?

used to make divorce rings back in the 1980's all the time would melt down the bands into a new fashion (or cocktail ring as we called them then ) ring and mount the old diamonds. some folks liked doing the melting saying it was cathartic ssoooooo nothing new here except it is a new ring not a remake of the old

really dislike the loaded imagery in the ring pictured, but I do have a ring that was a sign that I belonged to myself first and always.

Why not "marry yourself" for awhile?

you'll be a better partner should you decide to join again.

Hell. no!!!!....

Only a woman would spend money for something like this. And since money troubles are the main cause of breakups, it all makes sense.

Have you folks at Shine ever heard of a nifty little feature called "Spell Check"? Seriously... "releaved"? Ridiculous! What lousy, second rate journalism.

It's called a right hand ring. DUH!

Hell no!
Not unless I got everything in the divorce, then maybe...

yep, this way we'll be able to tell who the gold digging cougars are by the $20k diamond ring with the broken heart around it..

I divorced my first husband after only 6 years. I put up with his abuse of all kinds for 5 years, I stayed longer than I should have. I can't imagine having the money to pay for something like that after a divorce plus I wasn't proud of being divorced. I didn't believe in it. I just believed in myself finally more than a bad marriage. So no, I would never wear one. My marriage now is wonderful so I hope to never go through a divorce again.

All the friends I know have trouble getting child support. Let alone have enough money for a ring.

sounds a little childish to me.. like they're trying hard to prove to the world that you're ok, but you're desperately seeking approval for the decision you made.. that's just sad..

Totally stupid concept......sounds like an unhealthy way to hold on to the past......

I am divorced and I wouldn't wear that ring. I agree with Anna-that to me would symbolize that a person is not yet past the relationship. As for my original rings, they are sitting in my jewelry box for a "really rainy day"!

Yes i agree what about an adultery ring?

Nose, I have to comment on your post.

First, to whomever the "douche" is that you are referring to, they have their own opinion. Everybody has their own opinions in this world, nobody believes or thinks the same. I do not believe in abortion because for the simple fact that too many women "CareLessly" goes out, gets pregnant without even trying to prevent it, and then use Abortion as their way out!
That is just irresponsible.
Also, you "Wishing" something bad on another person isn't considered "Good Karma". Remember, what goes around, comes around. You may one day find yourself in that situtation that you "Wished" on someone someday and regret it.
Oh, and one last thing, I do not believe God intended for abortion because he is the reason we are even born in the first place. Do you actually think "God" would want someone to Kill what he has designed and created?
That's just how I feel on the matter.

Hmmm...can the ring at least be gorgeous? Looking at this ring...my first response is NO! After a divorce, I would wear my wedding band on my middle finger though! hehehehe! just kiddin! ;)

My husband of 20 years left me for a 19 year old aisan heiress. Why would I want to wear a ring that stands for everything he was not? I did take the ring, melt it and sold it. I went to Hawaii twice with the money from the ring and had a blast. I hired a great Jewish lawyer and cleaned him out. That was better then wearing any ring that represents all the lies and betrayal. The point of divorce is to move on, and look forward. By yourself. Do not ever trust another man, all they do is lie and cheat and waste years of your life. Get a dog or a cat, travel , manage your own life to the fullest extent of your every possible happieness. That is the key. I have never been happier then I m on my own.

every day they're trying to sell something even more stupid than they did yesterday. divorce ring....seriously???

How ridiculous!
If the marriage was that bad and you feel that low after the divorce to transform your wedding ring into a glorified badge of anger then perhaps you need therapy more than anything.
