A Cup of Jo reader named Lee has a query for the group…
“Very long time reader right here, and I’m getting a divorce after 10 years of marriage,” she wrote. “I’d like to purchase myself a hoop to interchange my marriage ceremony ring. Listed below are my two necessities: 1) I don’t need somebody to mistake it for a marriage ring, since I secretly dream of being picked up by a good-looking stranger at my native espresso store, and a pair of) I’d prefer it to price lower than $500.”
First off, I really like this query, Lee! I’m excited for you and your future. I do know many ladies who purchased themselves “self-love rings” as they began new chapters of their lives — after breakups or losses or graduations or job adjustments or huge strikes. Says a CoJ reader named Beth: “I hated seeing my bare left ring finger throughout my separation, so I bought myself a Gorjana Elea ring. It wraps round my finger like a heat hug.”
“Years in the past, I fell in love with a Bario Neal ring, however didn’t purchase it,” provides a reader named AMB. “Then, in the midst of my divorce, I remembered that ring and the best way it made me really feel, so I ordered it. Now, each time I look down at my hand or nervously attain over to spin my lacking marriage ceremony band, I contact this stunning reminder of who I used to be earlier than and the way I’m going to develop into extra of who I need to be.”
Plus, Lee, listed below are just a few I actually love, in case any communicate to you…
Catbird is one among my favourite shops, and this cleaning soap bubble ring (with a pearl flanked by diamonds) is sooooo pretty. (Right here’s a $60 model, too.)
In case you like delicate items, Satomi Kawakita makes superbly tiny rings in sapphire, ruby, black diamond, and emerald.
Monica Vinader has gemstone rings in colours like inexperienced and black.
Odette NY makes a stunning coronary heart ring and kisses ring.
And, lastly, how cool would a signet ring be? My grandfather wore one his entire life, and I’d like to put on one, too. Ariel Gordon has such fairly ones: petite, slim, basic and assertion.
Ideas? What different rings do you’re keen on?
