Emily Ratajkowski isn’t the only person giving her diamonds new life post-divorce.
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 , created the new pieces. The post has since received more than 1 million likes.
With that in mind, Chemla said she wanted to create rings that Ratajkowski would “feel proud of” and that would “make a statement,” describing the process as “collaborative”.“I wish we honoured other major life events with the same respect we reserve for marriage,” says Lauren Boc, a North Carolina-based jeweller and founder of Hera Fine Jewellery. “Leaving a relationship that doesn’t serve you takes courage, and that’s something worth commemorating.
Pokorny, a public relations consultant in Aspen, Colorado, wanted a toi-et-moi style, pairing an emerald stone with her original emerald-cut diamond. “This project gave new meaning to the term retail therapy,” jokes Pokorny, who also marked her separation by buying a 1991 Mitsubishi Montero, a car she had always wanted but that her ex-husband had deemed unsafe. “The diamond represents a 10-year period in my life, and the emerald, my birthstone, is a reminder that I’m capable of saving myself.
