    Would you wear a divorce ring?

    By Joanna Douglas, Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor | Love + Sex – Tue, Aug 30, 2011 12:15 AM EDT

    The Spritzer and Furman The Spritzer and Furman We've heard of women transforming their engagement rings into new pieces of jewelry after a divorce, or even celebrating their newly single status with divorce parties, but the latest craze is women buying symbolic divorce rings.

    Bride Finds has brought our attention to the 18K gold Spritzer and Furman "Divorce Ring" set with four full-cut diamonds and center trillon diamond. It can be yours for $3,200.

    We get that this is supposed to be an empowering thing, and maybe some women will be so excited and releaved to be free from their exes they'll be psyched to have a piece of jewelry representing their split. But on the other hand, wearing a ring of a broken heart split by a diamond bolt might look a little nuts. Like now when an eligible bachelor checks your ring finger to see if you're married, he'll see this design symbolizing your dead marriage. Hmm.

      No i wouldn't were a "divorce" ring but i would take the rings and reset them into something else to wear between the gold and the diamond you could get a really nice ring to bling with and it won't remind of bad times

      I still celebrate the anniversary of my divorce. I didn't have a wedding, but I had a divorce bash to die for. I wish I knew divorce rings existed - I would sure treated myself to one!

      I tried to give my rings back to the ex and he wouldn't take them. I just figured he could use them on the next woman! I do have a right hand ring that my Mom gave to me before she passed. Love you Su-Su!

      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

      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"!

      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.

      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! ;)
