Celebrating the End of an Era: Why Divorce Rings Are Becoming a Thing
In a bizarre turn of events, divorce rings have become a thing – and we couldn't be more delighted. The concept, which marks not hitching but unhitching, has trickled down from A-listers like Emily Ratajkowski, who famously celebrated her split from Sebastian Bear-McClard with two bespoke rings that incorporated the diamonds from her engagement ring.
While some may see it as an indulgent way to commemorate a breakup, others are embracing the trend as a fun and lighthearted way to move on. Jewelry designer Annoushka Ducas, who hosts divorce ring parties at her boutiques, sums up the sentiment perfectly: "It's fun rather than miserable... there's a lot of laughing and camaraderie."
But what sparked this new appetite for divorce rings? The answer lies in A-listers who have opted to celebrate their separations with grand gestures. Take model-actor Emily Ratajkowski, who threw two lavish parties after her split from Sebastian Bear-McClard, complete with custom-made rings and a photo shoot.
As the trend continues to gain momentum, more celebrities are embracing divorce rings as a way to mark their new beginning. Celebrity dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner, for instance, has flaunted his own bespoke ring on social media, while actress Jessica Alba opted for a divorce tattoo – complete with a message that reads "life is transformation is life."
But not everyone can afford (or want) a fancy divorce ring. That's why the internet is abuzz with more low-key alternatives, such as #DivorcedMomCore – an idea that encourages individuals to release themselves from someone else's aesthetic and forge their own path.
So, how do you mark your separation in style? Well, you could always throw a party (pun intended), invite friends over for cake and pin the tail on the ex. Or, if you're feeling more DIY-inspired, take down that painting of your ex's and paint your own mural – or, as Jessica Alba did, get a tattoo to commemorate your newfound freedom.
As we raise our glasses (or bottles) in a toast to our former partners, let's just say: free yourself.
