Promise rings, engagement, and wedding rings are well-known forms of jewellery’s romantic notions. For today’s woman, there are also right-hand rings that symbolise happiness, strength and independence.

Now, it’s the divorce ring that’s getting attention (by the divorcee set in particular).

One might think it’s only a matter of time before this becomes the latest fashion statement. However, divorce rings aren’t exactly a new invention. According to a July 1922 copy of The New York Times, jewellers in Paris designed a divorce ring that featured a broken Cupid's arrow.

Today, The D Jewelry Co., LLC designs simple D-Rings. To get to the point, the ring is a thick band with a break in the center -- in contrast to a wedding band, shaped in a circle to represent an unbreakable love.

Retailing at US$159.95, the ring features three bands of white gold on one side.

- Band 1 is for the year you met your ex
- Band 2 is for the year of marriage
- Band 3 is for the year of the divorce

Many women decide it’s suitable to wear the ring on their middle finger.

The rings can be ordered with stones, or without (diamonds/cz, birthstones). All rings are 14-k gold and 14-k white gold.

The D Jewelry Co., LLC believes the rings serve a dual purpose. The rings help one remember/get through a particular separation in life. At the same time, the person who owns the ring can look forward to a positive new beginning in the future.
