Redesigned Ring Honors Love, Grief Journey
6 Sep
Summary
- Ring redesign offers new meaning for daily wear.
- Grief has no set timeline, choose what feels right.
- Late husband's heart-shaped diamond was reimagined.
Amanda Kloots recently revealed her redesigned engagement ring, a significant piece that honors her late husband, Nick Cordero, who died in July 2020 from COVID-19 complications.
Kloots explained that she removed her engagement ring about a year after Cordero's death but recently decided to redesign it. She collaborated with jeweler Stephanie Gottlieb to create a new design that incorporates her husband's original heart-shaped diamond.
This reimagined ring now sits in a larger heart setting, symbolizing her continued love. Kloots shared this on September 4, 2026, emphasizing that there is no timeline for grief and individuals should do what feels right for them.
She encouraged those healing from loss to take their time and adapt cherished items into pieces they can wear and love daily, rather than keeping them stored away. Kloots noted that she feels more spiritually connected to Cordero now, six years after his passing, and receives signs from him regularly.
