Divorce Rings

broken ring

When your marriage has ended, your first thought may be to throw your wedding and engagement ring off a cliff. Instead, you could trade it in for a new piece of jewelry, and give yourself something that will mark the beginning of your new life.

Where to Buy

There are many different types of rings designed to symbolize the ending of your marriage. Some have special quotes or symbols on them, and others are broken with a space to symbolize the broken relationship. While many people choose to transform their existing ring into a divorce ring at their local jeweler's shop, some retailers and artists make rings specifically for divorce.

Wear It Proud for Closure

Since divorce rings are still relatively rare, you can wear this on any finger, although many people put it on the ring finger of their left hand to take the place of the marriage band. Getting a ring for a divorce is still not very popular, but as the divorce rates continue to rise and more people start dealing with the anguish of the end of marriage, people might turn to something like this for closure. Whether you are looking for closure, or just want a symbol to signify the start of your new life, the divorce ring might be the way to go.
