Unlike those dramatic scenes in the movies where a divorced woman rushes to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge and with hair streaming in the wind and tears running down her face, throws her wedding rings into the void of a blue dark night sky - most women tuck their wedding rings into their jewelry boxes and pull them out every now and again to have a cry and remember what it all meant and how cute it would look as a necklace! Now, you have a couple of options. One is to "bury" the past with a wedding ring coffin. Yes you read that correctly...a coffin. It's a little box (6 x 2 x 2 ish) in the shape of a coffin with a little brass plate that you can put your own unique message on. There are six choices apparantly. They include - Bury the past and move on to a new tomorrow, Rest in Peace, RIP, I do NOT, Six Feet In Isn't Deep Enough, or my personal favorite, Gone and Forgotten. They say the best thing is to.... Give a dead marriage its final resting place - BURY THE PAST and MOVE ON~ Love it. Oh yes $29.95.
Jill Testa is the woman behind Jist Enterprises, LLC. Wonder what kind of woman she is. Its an odd but fun business idea. Oh yes, one little note...I bet she is married. I just bet this was a man's idea. Really, I'd love to be proven otherwise.
Oh yes, one other option to mention is that you take the ring and turn it into something else...I mentioned a necklace. Well, one resort called Grand Velas Resort in Nuevo Vallarta offers the Ultimate Divorce weekend, featuring a a four star Diamond Divorce spa experience where you get a private consultation with a jeweler as to how to redesign your diamond into something less emotional and wearable. My goodness what a great way to take that 5 carat jewel and turn it into a journey necklace - the journey to the next husband perhaps.
For me, I just keep my wedding ring in my heart.
I know this is a little under a year old, but Jill's daughter is one of my good friends and Jill and my mom are great friends. She's divorced.

Will the next be wedding ring graveyard?

Wedding ring coffin is revolting - just another way to exploit people when they're down.
