On the other hand, if things didn’t end so badly, you may want to keep the beautiful things that reminds you of your ex-lover. So it all really depends on your feelings towards that individual and the situation at hand. Now, what about your new beau? What will he or she think of you keeping around these items that carry such emotional significance? Would you keep that from him or her or would you let your new lover know if asked about your jewelry’s origins?

This could get a bit tricky because new relationships are built on trust. It isn’t good to allow jealousy to creep into a relationship so soon either, so it is important to consider this carefully. Your best bet would be to tell the truth and lay out that there’s nothing to be worried or jealous about. Put yourself in your lover’s shoes, how would you feel if he or she kept jewelry pieces from the ex?
