Recently launched ExBoyfriendJewelry wants to become the clearinghouse for all the post breakup relationship remnants.
a site where you can buy/sell/trade and blog about all of those little reminders in your jewelry box that make you wonder “what did I ever see in him?”, or “where have all the cowboys gone?” You set your own price. You get it off your chest and out of your sight. . . Here’s the story, you don’t want it and he can’t have it back
In a NYT piece today, one of the sites founders described her inspiration
“You went through this hell, through that relationship to get this piece of jewelry, so you deserve something for it,” said Megahn Perry, 30, an actress and a writer who said she came up with the idea for the site last fall while eating a pork chop and thinking of her former husband. Her engagement ring and vintage wedding band are offered on the site.
It’s a unique twist on clearing out old to make room for the new, but do the stories about these baubles help or hinder their chances of finding a new home?
Blondie181 is selling a 2.32 carat white gold engagement set for $4500.
When I was younger I made the mistake of putting the ring on one of my credit cards while he paid it off. Well stupid me because when he decided to cheat on me for over a year I got stuck with the ring and the bill….:(
I always wanted Tiffany jewelry from a boyfriend. Well, I finally got my wish but with some drama. Turns out he bought the same exact pieces for his WIFE! Doh!! He was married. She’s the one that told me all about it the day she called my office freaking out. Rightfully so! I’m glad those days are in the past. I would like to pass these pieces on to someone that can enjoy them. I send them with much happiness from moving on with my life. Treat yourself or maybe a friend??
I like a great deal as much as the next woman, but I’m not sure the bad juju of a failed relationship is the free gift I want with purchase.
