Emily Ratajkowski is taking the old and making it brand new.
The model and actor showed off her “divorce rings” and the story behind them is quite interesting. Ratajkowski took her former engagement ring and made it into two different pieces following her divorce from ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.
“The rings represent my own personal evolution,” Ratajkowski told Vogue about the intention. “I don’t think a woman should be stripped of her diamonds just because she’s losing a man.”
Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard got married in 2018, before she filed for divorce from the producer in September 2022. They share son Sylvester.
The “I Feel Pretty” actor’s original engagement ring was a two-stone piece that consisted of a pear-shaped diamond and a princess-cut diamond on a gold band. The idea to separate the ring, she told the magazine, came from her friend Stephanie Danler’s essay “The Unravelers” in The Paris Review.
