For too long, the world's divided the married and the divorced into the haves and the have-nots. And what is it that the married "have"? A husband, babies, that smug smile, but more importantly, they have that ring.
To lessen this chasm, New-York based jewellers Spritzer and Furman have come out with a USD 3200 (Rs 1.48 lakh) divorce ring with 18-carat gold and 4 full-cut diamonds. It's bigger than Kim Kardashian's, and jazzier too! It has a broken golden heart with a diamond lightening bolt piercing through it to make heartbreak a lot more stylish.
One has heard of divorce parties, or women redesigning their engagement bands, but now, divorce jewellery or anti-marriage rings have been flooding the western markets.
Many dismiss the design as trashy, besides, one may have to consider, what kind of signal is the ring giving? That you're a failure at marriage or single and available? As dicey as its market prospects are, it's given a new spin to Beyonce's version of "Put A Ring On It!"
