After divorce, however, the decision typically comes down to personal preference, she says. If the marriage ended relatively amicably, some people do choose to wear their wedding ring or engagement ring on the right hand, as a reminder of their continued friendship with their ex.

Read More »Jordana Horn was cleaning out her desk recently when she found a surprise buried in the back of a drawer: her wedding band from a previous marriage. Horn, a TODAY Parents contributor, divorced her first husband nearly a decade ago and has since remarried, so she hadn’t thought about this old ring for a while. Still, the platinum band represented an important chapter in her life and she didn’t want to just leave it collecting dust. “It was clearly something that meant something more at one point, so I definitely wanted to do something that was meaningful,” Horn, 44, told TODAY Style. Horn asked her friends on Facebook what she should do with the ring, and people came back with a range of ideas. Some people suggested selling it, as Horn had done with her engagement ring years earlier. Others suggested melting the ring down and making something special for her sons from her previous marriage. One person even suggested making her kids matching nose rings from the metal, “which, while a creative idea, did not particularly appeal to me on many levels,” Horn said with laugh.

Read More »Post notes that in the case of a broken engagement, state laws vary as to who is legally entitled to keep the ring. After divorce, however, the decision typically comes down to personal preference, she says. If the marriage ended relatively amicably, some people do choose to wear their wedding ring or engagement ring on the right hand, as a reminder of their continued friendship with their ex. But most people “don’t want a ring on them as a symbol of a marriage that didn’t last,” Post said. “So, most people have a tendency to sell the ring, to give it away, to give it back, or to have it turned into something else. And all options are totally OK.”
"You meet them and your life just completely changes. You start seeing the world differently. It pushes you to want to engage with the divine,...

Courtesy Calla Gold/ Calla Gold Jewelry Of course, if a marriage has really gone down flames, there’s nothing quite so cathartic as casting your wedding ring into a fire — and Gold can help with that, too. She recalled one client who salvaged her engagement diamond but wanted the leftover band to burn ... literally. “She said, ‘I want to see the flame, I want to see it melt,’” Gold said. “When it was just a puddle of useless nothing, I took that final picture and I sent it off to her and she was like, ‘I’m free!’” No matter what you decide to do with your wedding ring, it’s an emotionally charged choice. That’s one reason Horn recommends not making any hasty decisions about your rings after a divorce. “I would recommend to most people waiting,” she told TODAY Style. “There are so many things that are fraught with so much pain and emotion when you’re going through a divorce, that you don’t need to serve up any more.” Horn said there was a “certain sadness” in finally selling her old wedding band, but because so much time had passed, “it was an abstract sadness rather than an extra-kick-in-the-teeth sadness.” In any case, watching the jeweler weigh the ring as she sold it was a moving experience. “It was just so interesting to me seeing it on that little scale,” she said. “It’s something that is so little, and yet is imbued with so much significance and so much emotional weight.” Still, 10 years after her divorce, Horn was more than ready to sell the ring and use the profits to help others. “It felt very good to have it gone,” she said. “As one could say, it went to a better place.”
