Diamonds are forever, especially for Emily Ratajkowski, who decided to transform her engagement ring into something completely new after splitting from her husband, film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard.
With the help of jewelry brand Alison Lou's creative director Alison Chemla, the model repurposed her pear-shaped and princess-cut diamond engagement ring into two separate rings, CNN reports.
“The rings represent my personal evolution,” the model told Vogue. “I don’t think a woman should be deprived of diamonds just because she loses a man.”
Ratajkowski explained that the idea came to her after reading Stephanie Danler's story "The Unravellers" in The Paris Review. “It includes the story of her grandmother’s snake ring, which was made up of different stones from her different marriages,” Ratajkowski said. “I loved the idea of a ring that unapologetically represented the many lives a woman has lived.”
The model, who shares a son with Bear-McClard, added that creating the rings was a "fun project." “The ring became a symbol for me—a kind of sign or evidence that my life was mine again,” she said.
