From Wedding Ring To Divorce Ring
What do you do with a wedding ring when the marriage doesn’t work out? More and more men and women are faced with this dilemma today as the divorce rate soars. Time was when all one needed to do was to take off the ring and maybe sell it or exchange it for something else. Today, however, women especially don’t want to do that. They get comfortable wearing their wedding ring and all they want is to change it a bit so that whoever see it will know that she isn’t married anymore.
So more and more people getting divorced are changing their rings and wearing them. In some ways it’s a statement that they were married and they are not anymore. The ring sends a message that they are independent again. It also could mean that while they are single and ready to mingle, they might not be ready to get into another commitment soon.
In some ways, it also helps emotionally because it is a reminder that the marriage is over and the way forward to healing and picking up the pieces has begun. It is final – that the marriage is over and it is also a reminder of what was. For women who have children, this is a way of preserving some sort of togetherness without a complete break. So all it takes is the original wedding ring with a break in it and this can be done at any jewellers. In fact, you could choose from various designs.
