Sure, I keep it. Some, I've passed on to my daughter already. If I'm not in love with him anymore it holds no sentimental value for me but I still appreciate it.
I'm just curious what others have done with jewelry given to you by exes? Did you throw it into the deep blue sea? Still wear it? Keep it with old love letters? Sell it? Tell me your story!
I have a diamond pendant necklace that I still wear. I don't see what the big deal is.
Plus, who goes around saying "my ex bought me this", to their NEW S/O? Its not a topic that even comes to mind during conversation.
I have a few items that were given to me from ex husband or ex boyfriends years ago, and yes, will occasionally wear a piece or two. I rarely wear jewelery anyway, and its not a sentimental thing, its only because I happen to like the item(s). So what, no big deal.
Depends on the break-up. I have one necklace given to me by an ex who I'm still friends with, and I used to wear it on occasion, although I haven't for a long time now. Still, I won't get rid of it. Another necklace from a different boyfriend is in my jewelry box but I won't wear it and I just need to figure out what it's worth so I know whether to just give it away or try to sell it.
I just went through a big hassle trying to sell my engagement and wedding rings. The economy is too bad right now to get a decent price for them so I'll hang on to them until I can get a better amount for them. I thought about listing them on idonowidont.com but haven't got around to it yet.

Right on.
I got rid of my engagement ring (beautiful pear). I should have put it away in sd box but took the money and it went to a bad habit of my xbf.
I still have my diamond wedding band from my xh & wanted to take the diamonds out & mix them with the diamonds mom gave me that were to her from my father (deceased). However, jeweler said the diamonds were set so well, he would not do it. So, yes I do wear the band. Had another band made in white gold for the other stones....
Have earings & tennis bracelet from Xh and I do wear it. They were gifts and in 15 years of being with him that was the only jewelry except for a charm and chain when my first son was born....Needless to say he bought himself a $5,000 sound board with money that his grandfather gave us for a downpayment for a home (when we first got married)....go figure. I felt bad I couldn't drive it.
