Terrine: Ex-Boyfriends' Jewels?

(Not to get confused... I mean real jewels made of crystal, saphire, gold... Not the family jewels our ex-boyfriends have between their two legs! Understand?!?  :P)

At the weekly breakfast of the crew this morning, Fabulous Andy said she'd like to sell a Swarovski necklace her ex-boyfriend gave her for her birthday last summer.  It made me wonder: is it okay to wear ex-boyfriends' jewels?  (In fact, it's a very actual question for me, as I started to wear one of my ex's jewels again).

I think that right after a break-up, every girl should take all of the jewels a boy gave her, put it in a box in her wardrobe and forget them for the time that the relationship lasted.  For example, I started wearing my ex-boyfriend's jewels back yesterday because we had dated for a year and 3 months and I broke up with him on something like the 15th or 16th August 2009.  So I think that selling jewelry should only be an option for the women who have dated a man for like 25 years...  Otherwise... just wait a little and it's going to be okay!

So Fab... you don't have to sell the necklace. Just put it in a box in your wardrobe and forget it until next year! ;)

What do you think about that rule?

  2. I see no problem in wearing your ex-boyfriend's jewels while you date a new boyfriend... as long as you don't tell the new boyfriend!!! :P

  3. It is a heart, however, and I would not feel comfortable wearing it in front of a future boyfriend!!

    But I guess you're right: selling in on E-Bay is just plain mean.

  4. I see a little allusion to Barney's rule about how far in the future you may plan project with a boy/girlfriend Terrine haha!!

    I see no problem in wearing ex-boy/girlfriend's gifts... as long as it really doesn't mean anything anymore...If you don't feel comfortable wearing it.. then you have you answer... Myself I've stuffs from exes that I still wear (mostly clothes)even though it's less personnal than jewelry whatsoever.
