Am I the only guy here who could clearly see this deceiving conspiracy made my jewelers to drain people's money during the difficult ordeal they are going through?!

I agree with you completely. I think its a big scam to make money of people who are at a vulnerable point in their lives. I think it is a nice idea to try and celebrate your separation/independance. But calling it a divorce ring may cause the wearer to constantly be reminded of this negative event, rather than celebrating their "freedon".

Yeah, I'm with you man! Just when you think they couldn't come up with a dumber idea, jewelers invent this ridiculous divorce ring nonsense. I seriously don't see the point of wearing it! Why would anyone in their right mind wear such a degrading display of jewelry? I mean, I'm not saying you should hide the fact that you're divorced or anything, but at the same time it's not something you should feel so proud about either… I mean it's not like a wedding ring or a diamond engagement ring, let's say where it's fun to brag and boast about. So then I figured that you must be right on this one… It's probably those jewelry shops trying to brainwash people into buying these ridiculous jewelry items to make more money. You certainly have a point!

First, you are entitled to your own opinion, so I'm not even going to try and convince you otherwise. You seem pretty certain of it and my guess is that nothing I could say would make you change your grounds. But just for the sake of other people reading this, I felt compelled to answer back. First of all, how on earth could it be a conspiracy made by jewelers if they weren't even the people who invented it in the first place?! It seems like you have no idea about how this Divorce Ring idea came up, so let me enlighten you. It was actually a random divorced guy who came up with the idea. This just goes to show that the design and thought of a Divorce Ring is completely authentic and it was sparked up from a genuine need this guy had. This guy, by the way, is named Harold Thompson and he said that creating a Divorce Ring was a way for him to publicly acknowledge his marital status. He claims that seeing as others acknowledge theirs so matter-of-factly, there's no reason why divorcees shouldn't do exactly the same. And anyway, I really don't understand the big conspiracy behind Divorce Rings if they're not all the popular yet, let's face it. I mean, a lot of people are still surprised when I tell them about the divorce ring I'm wearing – most are completely unaware of the fact they even exist. So, if it was a real jewelry scam, wouldn't you think they'll advertise these rings everywhere to increase their popularity? Evidently, there isn't any jewelry chain doing what you so heatedly claim. In fact, finding information about divorce rings and purchasing it online is not that easy and straightforward yet. It's a million light years away from being as popular as wedding rings, of course. My point is that only people specifically looking for a Divorce Ring will find it. So where exactly is the pathetic attempt to brainwash people and drain them of their money?! Because I don't see it anywhere.

Ah…No – I honestly DON'T think so! I've been divorced for the past 3 years but I only bought my divorce ring recently, almost a year ago. I never felt pushed by anyone anywhere to make my purchase, certainly not by any jeweler! In fact, I don’t even think they sell this kind of thing in jewelry stores! The only reason I didn't buy my divorce ring earlier is because I never heard about it until a year ago. It was a friend of a friend who told me about her divorce ring and I immediately liked the idea. I purchased mine online, because as I said – jewelers didn't even know what I was talking about when I came up to them and asked for a "divorce ring" – yeah, that was really embarrassing! So I really don't see where you're coming from here, but you better get some sense back to you. There isn't any conspiracy attempt by jewelers anywhere to make a profit off of distraught people – most of them don’t even know what divorce rings are!
