divorce ring

The latest thing in jewelry linked to special occasions is a “divorce ring.” And why not? There are promise rings and engagement rings and wedding rings. There are rings to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and other benchmarks in one’s life.

And there is symbolism to go with this “divorce ring.”

The design is simple: a thick gold band with a break in the center and three bands of white gold on one side. One band for the year you met your ex. One band for the year you married. One band for the year of the divorce.
