A new fashion statement: the "divorce ring"

"Shimmering on Deb Marino's finger are diamonds set in an eye-catching gold ring.  "Of course it's a middle finger ring, because, why not?" the Florida-based blogger says on her Tiktok feed.

Getting rid of her engagement ring would have suggested a regret the 34-year-old doesn't feel - after all, her marriage brought her daughter. Even just not wearing it would have felt like a waste. "I didn't want it locked away in a box," she says. "Diamonds are precious."..

Deb is part of a rising trend promoted by jewellers around the world of women marking a new chapter in their life with a new statement piece: the divorce ring.

Deb had the diamond from her engagement ring set at one end of an open circle and added a new sapphire to represent her daughter to the other end. It cost $3,000 (£2,245). It's a sizeable sum to part with when divorces can be expensive.  Ring resale values tend to be only around 30% of the original price so for many the trend of giving their old jewellery a new life feels a better investment."
