Emily Ratajkowski sets new trend for ‘divorce rings’
Emily Ratajkowski has shared an Instagram post of herself wearing ‘divorce rings’.
In the post, which features a slide of pictures and videos, the 32-year-old wears two rings from New York City-based jewelery brand Alison Lou, founded by Alison Chemla, on her fourth and fifth fingers.
The caption reads: “Divorce rings © @alisonlou”.
The model and actress has repurposed her two-stone engagement ring from her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. The couple, who were married for four years and share a son named Sylvester, finalized their divorce in 2022.
“The rings represent my own personal evolution. “I don’t think a woman should be stripped of her diamonds just because she’s losing a man,” Ratajkowski told Vogue.
Ratajkowski said she was inspired by reading Stephanie Danler’s essay, The Unravelers, in The Paris Review, which loosely tells the story of Danler’s great-grandmother and her “Snake Ring”.
This was “a ring that is made up of the different stones from her various marriages,” Ratajkowski told Vogue.
“I loved the idea of a ring unabashedly representing the many lives a woman has lived.”
Chemla, who created Ratajkowski’s original engagement ring, split the two diamond stones – an angled pear-shaped stone next to a princess-cut stone –
