Would you wear jewelry bought by an ex if you’re in a current relationship? Why or why not?

1. Yeah, I even wear my wedding band from my previous marriage on my other hand because it’s a custom piece that still represents who I am. Although this is probably very informed by it being an amicable divorce and she’s like a sister to me now.

2. Definitely if it doesn’t have some significant meaning. But something that had a lot of meaning or was something like a promise ring or passed down from family I wouldn’t.

3. Nope. I feel like it has sentimental meanings attached usually and I find that a little insulting to the current partner. I’d rather sell it and buy myself something cute again lol

4. Yes. Because they were really nice pieces of jewelry and I liked them.

5. Yeah, I have several pieces of jewelry that I got from a few exes.

   They’re just accessories and they’re cute. I don’t attach any more meaning to them than that.

6. My mom wears this heart shaped necklace, 20 k gold, with a 10k diamond in the center, she loves it. An old boyfriend from high school gave it to her. My dad does NOT care. Been married for 40 years he says “I know she ain’t thinking of him…”

7. Yes. They’re a part of my past and therefore a part of who I am today.

8. if it’s pretty enough i do not care who it came from.

9. No. I sold my rings, then tossed the rest of the shit in the garbage as soon as he moved out. It was all bought out of manipulation for his cheating. I don’t want it around.

10. I’d ask my current partner if they were ok with it

11. Yes, but only if they’re not some kind of couple’s jewelry. I barely remember what my ex gave me while I’m using it anyways. I have a lamp, necklaces, shirts and games and I don’t think of him 99 percent of the time I use those things.

12. no, jewelry is very sentimental & i think that would be a form of being emotionally unloyal to your new partner.

13. Personally, if it looked ok, I’d still not wear it cos everytime I wear it it’s just going to remind of him and it’s not healthy. The best way is to remove anything that associates with that person, it’s the best way to move on. But if it’s something that’s too good to throw away and has no meaning to it then I don’t see why not? :,)

14. If I like it and it fits the occasion, yes. I view my exes as a part of my history and getting rid of stuff only because it came from my ex is unnecessary.

15. Yes. I picked out the jewelry and I was planning on buying the pieces myself anyways.

    He just asked for some ideas, so I sent him some links.

    There’s 0 emotional attachment to the pieces on my end.

16. No I don’t want the jewellery to remind me ex all the time.

17. If I liked it, yeah I would.
