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 exchange 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 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 modifications or massive strikes. Says a CoJ reader named Beth: “I hated seeing my bare left ring finger throughout my separation, so I acquired 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 way in which 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 wish to be.”
Plus, Lee, listed here are a number of 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 beautiful. (Right here’s a $60 model, too.)
