"Divorce jewelry makes its entrance, as model Emily Ratajkowski introduces rings signifying the start of a noisy, high-profile separation period"
In a transitional period of her life, model and actress Emily Ratajkowski found a great sense of power and release in the creation and public debut of the divorce rings. Repurposing her engagement ring into two new ring styles, she named them "the divorce rings."
Ratajkowski was inspired to create the divorce rings after reading Stephanie Danler's essay "The Unravelers" in The Paris Review. The essay speaks about Danler's grandmother's snake ring, a ring made up of different stones from her various marriages. The divorce rings, according to Ratajkowski, became symbolic, representing her life becoming her own again.
The divorce rings, first debuted on her Instagram, are helping to shatter the stigma around 'failed' relationships. A third of people on the dating app Bumble in the UK are now using dating apps for the first time, and more than 1 in 3 have ended a marriage or serious relationship recently. This trend suggests we might be in a 'loud breakup' era.
A majority of Bumble users are being consciously single, with 54% taking a more mindful and intentional approach to dating. Bumble Sex and Relationship Expert, Dr Caroline West, stated that people are caring less about external opinions regarding breakups or divorces. This is reflected in the way Ratajkowski has openly discussed her relationships, including a previously publicized make-out session with Harry Styles.
Alison Chemla, the jeweller who helped create the divorce rings, explained that the ring was always intended to be split into two separate but complementary rings. The divorce rings serve as a reminder to Ratajkowski that she can make herself happy in ways she never imagined. They are being celebrated alongside the trend of embracing breakups and personal transformations.
In February 2023, Ratajkowski publicly launched her relationship with comedian and actor Eric Andre with a joint nude Instagram post. Emily Ratajkowski feels a sense of peace within herself and about her life and future, particularly regarding her son. The divorce rings, along with the trend of embracing breakups and personal transformations, are being celebrated as symbols of empowerment and self-discovery.
