So you went through a
painful divorce and all you have left is the bank account, a house, a car, the kids, the pets and
your Wedding Rings! Ha! Okay, so that wasn't fair, but chances are good, you'll at least have in your possession your Diamond Engagement Ring and Diamond Wedding Band. Symbols of love and marriage that didn't last... Sadly!
The Problem is...
The problem is, you're so used to wearing your rings on your left hand ring finger, that it wouldn't feel right to remove them. It's a painful enough subject, let alone seeing a painful indentation in your finger. You don't want to wear your old wedding set and you certainly don't want to be constantly reminded of your failed marriage either. So what can you do?
Make yourself a Divorce Ring!
A What? A Divorce Ring!
Take your Wedding Rings to the Jewelry Store and have your Diamonds reset into one big beautiful ring. (See Picture) Most Jewelers call these types of Rings "Remounts" and most Jewelers have "Restyling Events" or "Remount Events" a couple of times a year. At these awesome Events you can pick out a mounting from thousands of beautiful mountings and have your stones set in them, sometimes while you wait!
Why Remount them you ask?
Why not just sell them out right? Because you'll end up getting screwed that's why! You'll probably only get about 10-15% of what it's worth. That's what pawn-shops or Jewelers usually pay for them. Don't do it! You're better off to reset them into a new mounting. It's like a fresh new start.
Trust me, this is a great way for you to keep your beautiful Diamonds, change the look, change the feel, and change your attitude about them. Those Diamonds will no longer be your 'Old Wedding Rings', but now will be the new you, the new future, the new possibilities!
You will love it when your girl friends compliment you on your stunning new Ring. And you'll love their reaction when you smile and tell them that it's your...
"New Divorce Ring!"
I say Keep your Diamonds! After all, Diamonds, unlike your Ex, are FOREVER! Keep your Diamonds, make a wonderful Divorce Ring and your future will always be bright and sparkly!
