After my cheating ex contacted me wanting me back in her life, I sent her an email that I cannot do that nor can I be friends with her as loyalty and trust were non-existent in our relationship.

I received a package in the mail today (with no note). She had sent back to me a gold heart jewelry that I had designed for her. I am not sure why she sent only this gift and not any other gifts that I had given her over the years.

Any ideas? should I contact her and ask her why she did that, or let it go?

Ignore her, she just wants attention and a response.

Let it go. That's what she's hoping for that you contact her once you get the package.

I'm not sure she was looking for a response but let it go. She may have done it for closure. Perhaps the gift really reminded her of you and sending it back is her way of moving on.

It's not brain surgery. It's just her way to give you a final zap and twist of the knife...forget about it, throw it out, donate it and be done with it.

What would be the point of contacting her again? After you break up with someone, your business with them is finished. There is no point in trying to psycho-analyze every little detail or labor to understand them more deeply. Don't contact her. That would be looking for drama. Just put a period and move forward with your life.

As for why she did it? Maybe she no longer wants to look at the jewelry. A gold heart is pretty personal. I'm sure she would never want to wear it again after you rejected her. (Not saying you were wrong in breaking up, just that isn't it plain to see why she wouldn't want to wear the heart from someone who dumped her?) Maybe other gifts you gave her over the years were less personal and she could still get some use out of them.

Honestly, I've done this. I wanted to get the last word. I sent back all cards, poems and pics.

He called, but I allowed the voicemail to answer. I never spoke to him again. He was clearly hurt.

Don't contact this woman.

btw: I would never return jewelry. That's a no no in any woman's cheat sheet. It may hurt to look at it, but those feelings will fade. The lovely necklace will look great paired with a new dress.
