Last week, I blogged about wedding cake jewelry – bead-and-wirework accessories for the most important (or at least most expensive) pastry of your life.
But for those who might not be in that place right now, here’s a different jewelry offering: exboyfriendjewelry.com. This is the site where women ready to move on after a relationship can sell jewelry they received from their ex. Jewelry for sale is classified by necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. and ranges from Tiffany engagement and wedding bands to beaded jewelry, like this bracelet listed as A beautiful gift I can’t stand to see! or this silver and briolette necklace. Each piece is introduced by the (sad) story behind it, though strangely enough the stories don’t taint the beauty of the jewelry. Rather, readers who have been jilted themselves sympathize with the seller, adding compassion to transaction. I guess you could call it resale therapy.
Other amusing features of the site include items for sale as Gifts that should have been jewelry (handbags abound) and a For the boys page featuring “stuff men get stuck with.” You can also donate a portion of your profit to the Susan G. Komen Foundation in case you have karmic concerns about said profit.
