Good Mourning! Shall it be death or divorce today? Gisele Ganne has created a [line of accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird) depicting the symbols of death, mourning, and divorce.

Reviving an ancient trend of wearing [mourning jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protect-collection) to remember the dead, Ganne has expanded it to include jewelry for the newly divorced. The divorce rings are a weird spin on French tradition of the [bride's globe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-jewellery-guide), usually given to the woman on her wedding day. The rings feature skulls, coffins, and gravestones.
