Model, author, and entrepreneur Emily Ratajkowski is making headlines for a bold post-divorce move. Following her split from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, she’s transformed her engagement ring into something entirely new.
In a series of Instagram photos, Ratajkowski revealed that she worked with jeweler Alison Lou to dismantle her original engagement ring, which featured a unique mix of pear-shaped and princess-cut diamonds. Together, they refashioned the stones into two separate rings she calls her “divorce rings.”
Speaking to Vogue, Ratajkowski explained the meaning behind her decision: “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’s choice is sparking conversations about female empowerment and reclaiming ownership over personal experiences. Fans are praising her self-assured move and calling the “divorce rings” a powerful symbol of independence.
This isn’t the first time Ratajkowski has challenged traditional narratives regarding marriage and relationships. Her book of essays, “My Body,” delves into themes of female autonomy, sexuality, and power dynamics.
