What if your current beux gives you an identical (and I mean EXACT same piece) necklace or whatever that your ex had given you? This happened to me and I just couldn't wear it nor did I have the heart to tell him why.
i see nothing at all wrong with wearing things your ex gave you.
i still wear the things my ex boyfriend (who i came very close to marrying) gave me. when he and i broke up, i actually asked him if he wanted them back. he told me to keep them and keep wearing them...especially the white gold and diamond heart necklace he gave me since i love it so much. i wore it every day when we were together. i still wear it almost every day. its very special to me.
I have a nice Tiffany necklace an ex gave me, and I wouldn't think of never wearing it again. Of course, we broke up over 3 years ago, so the feelings attached to the necklace are mostly nostalgic and plesant.
I have a 3 stone diamond pendant necklace from one ex that i never wear, i am waiting til i can think of what to do with it, sell it or whatever.. but i only wore it once. its beautiful (one of those past present future things) but he turned into an ass so i decided that i didnt want to be reminded of. its in my jewlery box but i never take it out.
I also have an opal ring (my birthstone) that is gorgeous with two diamond settings on either side. it is so pretty but he also was an ass so i dont wear it.
i have been thinking lately of selling it.
i guess if there are no hard feelings than it is ok to wear jewlery from an ex. but in good taste....dont go flaunting it to a new boyfriend and be like look what so and so got me when WE were dating.. it sounds outrageous but i had a girlfriend who did that once.
wrong no-but my advice... GO BUY SOME FOR YOURSELF! I did after I broke up with my beau-and it was the best feeling ever to treat myself to the gems I deserve that he was always too cheap to buy!
