Rachel Zoe has invested in a post-split diamond and calls the piece a “freedom ring.”
She opened up about the new purchase during an appearance on Today and shared her opinion that women don’t have to wait for an engagement or wedding to buy meaningful jewelry.
“By wearing this I call it my freedom ring,” the fashion designer continued. “It’s just that [say]…why does this have to be just for engagement? I don’t understand that. I think we need to change the narrative around it. And now that we mentioned it, you need a ring.”
“Why wait? Buy the diamond now,” host Jenna Bush Hager chimed in.
The designer, who joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, revealed that she ordered the custom ring from Ring Concierge after filing for divorce from Rodger Berman in 2025.
Zoe went on to say that the oval diamond design was partly inspired by her sons, but also reflected her belief that rings can symbolize independence, and not just relationships.
“He picked the stones,” she said of her youngest son Kaius. “And he said, ‘Mommy, you’re the big one. And me and Sky are standing next to you on each side.'”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star originally debuted the accessory in mid-December, writing on her Instagram Stories, “A divorce ring of my dreams…I could die!!!!” by bravo.
She previously received a nearly 10-carat push-present ring designed by Neil Lane after the birth of her first child.
Zoe and Berman married in 1998 after meeting as students at George Washington University in 1991. They were together for 18 years before having their first son, Skyler, in 2011. Their second child, Kaius, was born on December 22, 2013.
