Things You Can Do With Your Wedding Ring After Divorce 

An innovative New York woman has come up with a creative way to store your wedding ring after divorce.

She makes little coffins for wedding rings. At weddingringcoffin.com, for $30 to $35 you can buy miniature, solid-wood coffins with a mahogany finish, velvet interior and a lid allowing for an open or closed casket.

The coffins also come with an engraved brass plaque with such messages as: "Bury the past and move on" or "Six feet isn't deep enough! I find this to be amusing, but I rather get some use out of my wedding ring than have it collect dust in a "coffin".

What I want to do with my ring is have it redesigned into a cocktail ring and call it my "Freedom Ring". This way every time I wear it I will be reminded of how my life has changed for the better, after my divorce, just like the ring. Instead of burying our rings, we can redesign them, just like we are redesigning our new lives.
 
Of course if it will give you satisfaction and relief to flush your ring down the toilet, or throw it out the window, go ahead. You may need to release your anger and getting rid of the ring may the therapy you need.
 
Another more practical option would be just to sell it. Then take the money and treat yourself to a trip, new clothes or something else you have been wanting. Preferably something your ex would have not approved of during your marriage.
 
Whatever you decide to do with your wedding ring after your divorce, have fun and keep a sense of humor. The ring is a symbol of your former life. Although it may be painful to let go of the past, by letting go of your wedding ring you are paving the way for a new and exciting life.

I have mine in my sock drawer, maybe I could have it melted and turned into a tie clasp.

I have a beautiful ring, cost a decent amount of money. Don't want to throw it away, give it away..try to sell, they rip you off. I'm stuck with it I guess

Although the marriage did not last, I absolutely love my ring.  I picked it out and still can't believe that it belongs to me.  I plan on wearing it until the divorce is final in a few weeks.  Also, when the divorce is final, I was thinking about wearing it on my right hand because I love it so much.  I even thought about having the two rings fused together so it does not look like a wedding set.  I see no reason to give it away, sell it, toss it or pawn it.  It's funny that I have no bad feelings about it.  I only remember picking it out when I look at it.

Hey I like the idea of a freedom ring--that name sounds familiar--oh yeah --that's my username on here!! LOL :)  I like that idea--too bad I already sold mine to the pawn shop after the divorce and I ran his over in my driveway with my van!!  But that was worth it--trust me!! :) LOL

I am sending mine to my daughter.  Afterall, it was a cheapy anyway.  Not enough gold or diamonds to do anything with.  This way, she will have something from my life befor I leave this earth.
