Are You Serious: Jeweler Makes Divorce Ring

Spritzer and Furman "Divorce Ring" / 1stdibs.com

Can you believe this? Jewelery company Spritzer and Furman thinks that they’ve created the next big thing with the “Divorce Ring.” The 18K gold ring retails at over 3 thousand dollars and probably costs more than most peoples actual wedding rings.

From Today.com:

The divorce ring certainly seems like it would be effective in acting as a quick visual clue to let friends and acquaintances know a marriage ended, thus saving a divorced woman the burden of having to laboriously inform everyone she knows. And those who go through particularly painful or drawn-out divorces might use the ring as a sort of “This is what you’re in for” alert to potential suitors: “Yes, I’m single, but I might come with baggage.”

Now really, do you think if you’ve been married and you pop up with this ring that nobody will ask you what happened? Um…no.

BMWK family what do you think about the Divorce Ring?

    This is just a plot 2 gain more publicity and attention 2 a negative aspect of our family demise. Either way divorce is painful n does not need 2 be symbolized. The wounds that many people walk away with is enough.

    Historically jewelers (in marriage and now in divorce) have positioned themselves to capitalize on marriage. If you check the history how diamond wedding rings came into vogue you'll probably find that the industry is now readjusting to capitalize on the enormous divorce rate. www.ruleyourwife316.com
