Last week, Emily Ratajkowski shared on Instagram that she had created a pair of “divorce rings” by remodelling the pear- and princess-cut diamonds from her toi-et-moi engagement ring into two separate rings. Alison Chemla, a New York-based jeweller and creative director at Alison Lou (who also crafted Ratajkowski’s original engagement ring), created the new pieces. The post has since received more than 1 million likes.

“Divorce rings are having a moment,” says Sasha Nixon, a New York-based jewellery curator and historian. The trend, one embraced primarily by women, is about breathing life into one’s wedding rings after a split.
