The Divorce Ring


This is pretty awesome.  
Forget wedding rings....enter the era of another kind of ring — the divorce ring. 
Yes, it seems that these days women wear their broken hearts not on their sleeves but on their finger.

French jewellery designer Gisele Ganne has created a ring to represent the fact that 52 per cent of marriages in the US end in divorce. 
The idea is that women buy the ring for themselves at the end of their marriage and wear it on their wedding finger as a defiant ‘I don’t!’ 
 
    However, don’t expect a pretty, delicate jewel. Gisele’s rings (which cost $1000) feature ‘subverted’ wedding symbols, namely gold bird skulls decorated with a bride’s bouquet and pink gems. 
    There’s even a divorce knuckle-duster for those who are going through a really bad divorce . .
