Ariana Grande Replaced Her Engagement Ring With A New Piece Of Jewelry — Here’s What It Means

When you get engaged, everyone’s eyes are normally focused on the rock. But when you break that engagement, it’s all about whether or not you plan on keeping the ring. Even though Paris Hilton made waves by initially refusing to return her ring back to ex-fiancé Chris Zylka, Ariana Grande was quick to return hers to Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson. But that doesn’t mean that the space on her finger was vacant for long.

Grande chose to adorn her ring finger with a completely different ring that symbolizes another type of relationship — friendship. She’s been spotted wearing a solitaire diamond friendship ring, and six of her closest friends are sporting similar jewelry.

Friendship rings are pretty powerful. Since friendships are often forever, wearing the ring symbolizes that Grande has a solid group to turn to if she needs. And the actress and singer is likely leaning on friends a lot this year — aside from breaking up with Davidson, she’s also mourning the untimely loss of her ex, Mac Miller.

Grande made sure to show off the ring in a series of different Instagram posts and stories. The ring itself is elegant and sure to complement any look.

She also reportedly commented on Instagram posts of her friends with a ring emoji, showcasing that her new jewelry has a lot of meaning behind it.

Friendship jewelry is a great way to show the world how close you are with your buddies. And even though it’s doubtful that Grande’s crew is going anywhere, it’s still good to see that she found a less permanent way to showcase her admiration. Even though Grande and Davidson’s couple’s tattoos seemed like a good idea at the time, both have been busy covering them up since they split. So, jewelry was a great choice.
