Taking the ring off doesn’t help.

New jewelry by Jason Arasheben, jeweler to the stars, leaves no doubt about its wearer’s relationship status, even after it’s taken off.

Arasheben, of Jason of Beverly Hills, shared a photo of a ring on Instagram that leaves an imprint after it’s removed, Yahoo Style reports.

The site describes it as “a black gold ring with a half-set of five rows of black diamonds bearing the word ‘MARRIED’ on the interior.” The letters in “MARRIED” are raised, so the ring leaves a sort of “brand” on the wearer’s finger for a while.

Arasheben originally created the ring for himself after his wife, Lisa, “remarked that she wished the ring would leave a mark on him if he was going to keep taking it off.” But lots of other people wanted them, too, so he started making more.

Rings in the collection sell for $1,700 and up.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
