Following her 2022 divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard, with whom she shares a son named Sylvester, Ratajkowski decided to repurpose her former engagement ring into two new ring styles, imbuing them with new meaning and symbolism.<\/p>\n<p>Making the announcement on Instagram, Ratajkowski shared her inspiration and intentions behind the innovative concept. &#8220;The rings represent my own personal evolution,&#8221; she revealed in an exclusive interview with <em>Vogue<\/em>. &#8220;I don\u2019t think a woman should be stripped of her diamonds just because she\u2019s losing a man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The idea to repurpose the rings came to Ratajkowski while reading her friend Stephanie Danler\u2019s essay <em>The Unravelers<\/em> in The Paris Review. &#8220;It includes the story of her grandmother\u2019s snake ring\u2014a ring that is made up of the different stones from her various marriages,&#8221; the supermodel explained. &#8220;I loved the idea of a ring unabashedly representing the many lives a woman has lived.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Teaming up with her jeweller friend Alison Chemla, the creative director behind fine-jewellry brand Alison Lou, Ratajkowski embarked on the journey to transform her former engagement ring into divorce rings. &#8220;Emily and I spent a lot of time talking about what she wanted and how she wanted to feel when wearing the rings,&#8221; Chemla shared.<\/p>\n<p>The result of their collaboration is a stunning pair of rings that give Ratajkowski&#8217;s former engagement ring an entirely new feel. &#8220;The idea of divorce is a separation, so it was always going to be splitting the ring into two separate but complementary rings,&#8221; Chemla explained. Both pieces incorporate the original engagement ring&#8217;s existing stones\u2014a pear-shaped diamond and a princess-cut diamond\u2014along with platinum and 18-karat yellow gold settings.<\/p>\n<p>Ratajkowski drew inspiration from Rihanna for the silhouette of the new rings. &#8220;I was very inspired by Rihanna\u2019s diamond pinky-toe ring\u2014I liked the idea of my former wedding ring ending up on my pinky,&#8221; she expressed. The princess cut presented a challenge, as Ratajkowski sought a design that felt fresh yet timeless. &#8220;Alison and I worked together to find something that felt fresh but also timeless,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the design process, the rings hold deep significance for Ratajkowski, symbolizing a turning point in her life. &#8220;The ring became symbolic to me\u2014some kind of token or evidence of my life becoming my own again,&#8221; she reflected. Putting on the rings for the first time, Ratajkowski felt a sense of empowerment, using accessorizing to reshape the narrative around divorce and moving on.<\/p>\n<p>As she looks toward the future, she sees the rings as a reminder of her ability to find happiness and fulfillment independently. &#8220;Somehow, these rings feel like a reminder that I can make myself happy in ways I never imagined,&#8221; she concluded.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have something to add to the story?
