Across the UK, US and beyond, divorcing women are repurposing engagement rings or buying new “divorce rings” to mark fresh starts, with stories like Deb Marino wearing a sapphire on a redesigned ring and Ceri Evans calling her new piece her “USA ring.” Jewellers report rising interest as women use these rings to signal financial and personal autonomy after a split. With divorce often timing financial strain, many see the new ring as a meaningful investment and a way to reclaim control, even as resale values for old jewelry typically sit around 30% of original price.

Frances Gerety, a 31-year-old copywriter at N.W.

The slogan ran from 1948 onward, reinforcing a marketing-driven idea of value (including the famous two-month-salary rule) and turning the diamond market into a multibillion-dollar industry, even as Gerety herself never married. The piece explores cognitive dissonance between the private life of a creator and the public impact of her work, and notes the line’s enduring presence in De Beers campaigns today.
