Okay, here’s my blog post about that Emily Ratajkowski divorce ring situation – straight from my own experience.
Alright, so I saw this whole thing about Emily Ratajkowski’s divorce ring, right? She took her wedding ring, and made it into two rings! I thought, “Damn, that’s kinda badass.” And honestly, I’ve got some jewelry lying around that I never wear, so I figured, why not try and do something similar?
The Idea Sparked: I had this old necklace from an ex – super clichéd, I know. It was silver, kinda chunky, and I hadn’t worn it in years. Just sitting in my jewelry box, taking up space and reminding me of…well, you know. So, EmRata’s move got me thinking: transform this thing into something I actually want.
Finding a Jeweler: First thing I did was Google “local jewelers who do custom work.” I read a bunch of reviews, checked out their websites, and finally picked one that seemed legit and had some cool designs in their portfolio. I called them up and explained what I wanted to do – basically, melt down the necklace and make it into a ring.
The Consultation: I went to the jeweler with the necklace. He was pretty cool, not stuffy at all. I showed him pictures of rings I liked – simple bands, nothing too crazy. We talked about the thickness of the ring, the finish (shiny or matte), and whether I wanted any stones. I kept it simple: just a plain silver band.
The Design Process: He sketched out a few options based on what I said. I picked one, and we talked about the sizing. He took my ring size, and then we discussed the timeline. He said it would take about two weeks.
The Waiting Game: Two weeks felt like forever! I was actually really excited to see how it would turn out. I even started thinking about other jewelry I could repurpose.
The Big Reveal: I got a call from the jeweler saying the ring was ready. I went to pick it up, and…it was awesome! It was exactly what I wanted: a simple, sleek silver band. It felt good on my finger, and it was mine, made from something that used to have totally different meaning. I felt like I was EmRata reborn (kind of!).
The Result: I’ve been wearing the ring every day since I got it. It’s a reminder of taking something old and turning it into something new, something that represents me now. It’s a pretty cool feeling, honestly. Definitely worth the effort and the money.
Things I learned:
- Research your jeweler. Read reviews, look at their work.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions. It’s your jewelry, you want to get it right.
- Keep it simple. Especially if it’s your first time doing something like this.
- Be patient. Good things take time.
Would I do it again?
Absolutely! It’s a fun way to give new life to old jewelry and create something unique. Next up, maybe I’ll tackle those earrings I never wear…
