I feel that a divorce ring may be a bit shameful. What do you all think?

Not at all. You should be able to look at your ring and say to yourself that you're strong for wearing it, and that you a divorce ring is just another kind of ring that symbolizes your life journey. Nothing to feel bad about. To the contrary, it's a way to feel happy about where you're at at this point in your life.

I mean, I don't think you should feel ashamed at all... although I don't know I'd personally want to go around wearing something that says "I'm divorced" all over it! I think it's more a personal preference, and whether you need that reminder to help you move on. I think that in a way it can be therapeutic - you know, being able to carry something with you that tells you that you're looking ahead, moving forward, and consequently help you develop the positive attitude that will carry you forward as you move forward.

Absolutely not! A divorce ring is nothing to feel ashamed of! Lots of people are getting divorced so it's really a question of how all of these people are moving on with their lives. I mean, you have to start somewhere, so why not buy a piece of jewelry that helps you get over your divorce, so that you can say to yourself... I went through what I went through, but now it's in the past and I'm ready to move on. I think people who see it for the first time will be curious about the ring and possibly why you're wearing it, but it also gives you an opportunity to explain what the ring symbolizes, what it means for you as far as your past and more importantly, what it means to you as far as your future.

I definitely agree. I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing something that helps you move on and helps you explain to other people where you're at in life, that you've healed, that you're ready to move on... and that you're doing it contently, at ease etc. Sure people might not understand at first but the bottom line is whether you're ok with where things stand with you, whether you can be proud of being divorced and finding the right person to continue your life with. It's really not about the opinions of other people, it's about feeling proud of yourself.
