Is it appropriate to wear jewelery that was a gift from your ex? I'd appreciate thoughts and opinions on this. Thanks!

Absolutely! flowerforyou


EDIT*

Wait! Will he see it on you?
If he does... he may react to it if he's still not over the relationship?

once you are given a gift from someone, it becomes your property to do with as you please. the giver should regard the item as yours, you should regard the item as yours, and everyone else should mind their own business. if you do wear the item(s) you can say the item(s) was a gift. that should be enough to satisfy any inquisitive person

I think that depends mostly on how your S.O will react to it. Like if your wearing a necklace and ex got you instead of something they got you it might be a bit of bad juju. laugh

He will never see me or the jewelery on me, so I think I'm in the clear

I say wear it unless it has some kind of relationship ties to it (engagement ring/ wedding set) and how your SO feels about it. It really bother some people, to know that the jewelry is from an ex.

I would think, in the spirit of gift-giving
that, should he see you in the jewelry he
gave you, that he might be flattered, that
you chose to wear his gift.

I still have a ring that an ex gave me and the odd time I wear it; even when I was dating. I just never told the guy I was dating that it was from the ex. It wasn't that it was sentimental; just liked the ring as its a puzzle ring from Tureky; not exactly something common here in North America.

he meant how your current man would feel I think

and my feeling is if u are comfortable wearing it, do it

I just do not have any desire to wear the jewelry given me by my ex

flowerforyou A gift is just that a GIFT for you to do with as YOU please so wear it & enjoy it. Unless it is a Engagement/wedding ring in that case you should have given it back.
I know I dont get into conversations with people about where or from who I got my Jewelry. :smile:

Hummmm once it is giving to me regardless who gave it to me I'm gonna wear it. If it bothers the one I'm with then all I can say is they better buy me one I like better then I will wear that one...bigsmile

I have no problem wearing jewelry from an ex. I have a silver opal ring that an ex hand made. I also have a ring with diamonds from marriage and engagements that didn't pan out. I had it made into a ring I call my badge of courage. It's beautiful and reminds me that I am still here in spite of it all. No bad karma allowed. :)
