Last week, I helped forlorn lovers locate a new home for their sparkling forget-me-nots and shared a bright new idea for jewelers searching for a niche market. This week, I'm dishing about a new trend among jilters and jiltees. Jewelry designers in need of a new concept should take note too.
Rather than venting about their failed marriages, divorcées are celebrating and announcing their newfound freedom with divorce rings. Some are even wearing the rings on their middle fingers for added emphasis, according to one article.
But Laurie Lunsford, owner of Transition Rings, prefers to accentuate the positive. Her 14-karat gold and sterling silver rings include a hope-inspiring design. D. Jewelry Co. offers more sophisticated rings (shown) in white and yellow gold with a separation in the "eternity circle" that signifies the parting of ways.
Feelings about the rising trend vary. In a recent article, Jim May, director of the Family Wellness Center in Midland, Texas, said something spiritual might be more helpful for those trying to move past the pain of divorce.
An advice-seeking ex-wife of a cheater said her former in-laws felt she was poking fun at their son and promoting divorce by wearing one of the rings. The Dear Abbey columnist's response to her letter said it was the ex-husband who promoted divorce when he cheated.
The columnist also warned her that many might not understand the significance of wearing the ring. Do you? What's your opinion of divorce rings?
