And Now ... the Divorce Ring

And Now ... the Divorce Ring - Celebrate your freedom for $3,200

In an age of 50% divorce rates and even divorce parties comes the inevitable: a divorce ring. The 18K gold ring from Spritzer and Furman—in the shape of a split heart, of course—will set you back $3,200. At the Stir blog, Emily Abbate will pass, thank you very much. "After a heart-wrenching split, aren't there a lot of other things you would rather spend $3,200 on than a ring to remind you of your newfound singledom?" she asks. "Like, oh, I don't know, a trip to Las Vegas with your girlfriends or a much nicer looking piece of jewelry that doesn't make you think of your ex every time you get a glimpse of your hand?"

Gotta love one of the comments at the bottom:

"This ring is so tacky! A lovely memento would be tasteful necklace of your ex's severed ballsack...either white gold or platinum..."

I didn't read the article... does it say what finger (or other protruding appendage) you're supposed to wear it on?

Pretty much what I posted WAS the article.

If it fits on both your finger and his there probably was a good reason for the divorce.

Don't need a divorce ring. Threw my wedding ring off Solomons Bridge. Didn't need that either.

What I was thinking is if they wore it on the left hand in place of the wedding band, then there isn't much difference visually, no one would know unless you waved it in front of someone and boasted.

What, the bridge???

That made me . I bet it felt great...FREEDOM!

I was engaged to a complete jackass and after 6 years of misery I finally left him and moved outta NY. Gave him the engagement ring back and replaced it with a ring I called my "me, myself & I" ring. Met my now hubby and he asked why I wore that ring on my "wedding ring finger" so I told him the story. We got engaged and briefly moved to the Niagara Falls area. We decided I should throw that ring over the Falls because I'd never need it again. Something felt really great about tossing it into the water.

And throw away good money!?!

I kept my engagement/wedding ring to give to our daughter. I am so glad that I did that. He died very unexpectedly. Now she has something to show that we did love eachother very much at one time.

You are ruining the paradigm. Women never cause divorces.

Oh no, the engagement ring I had given back to jackass when I ended things. The ring I tossed was just a silver ring, inexpensive and something I bought myself. Had I had kids with him and it was a ring from him, I wouldn't have tossed it. You're right, I think it's important for kids to know that they were born to parents who at the time loved one another. We never did get married so I thought it was right to give him the ring back. He needed the money more than I did, if he wanted to sell it.

That makes a difference.

I knew what you meant. I just think it's funny how jewelry companies try every weird angle to try to sell more overpriced crap to you. What was the campaign several years ago to get women to put a diamond on their right hand, too? Duh!

A casket? Really? Yes, I'd sell mine first before burying it or throwing it away. And I'm fortunate my ring looks nothing like a traditional wedding band so I can still wear it on other fingers. I'd get more satisfaction from the money it would bring than the fleeting satisfaction chucking it would give.

I threw mine off the back deck.

I know a lady who told me her and her fiancee got into an argument while driving. She rolled the window down and tossed her ring off an overpass. Of course, he pulled over and left her and her bags on the side of the road after that. She walked a distance, called for a ride and flew home.

That's what I'm going to do in time is give the rings to my daughter. My ring was his grandmother's.

That's insane! As much as the ex and I fought, I never would've done that. Thousands of dollars literally out the window? I can't blame the guy for leaving her azz on the side of the road!

Sorry to bring back an old thread - I still have my old engagement ring. It's been sitting in a jewelry box for a while now. I don't want to throw it off a bridge, as was suggested earlier in the thread. Sell it? But where?

I would tell you what I did with my wedding ring, but Larry might read this and get his feelings hurt.
