Diamonds may be forever. But what’s a girl to do when she gets dumped or divorced and those rings, necklaces and love gifts lose their emotional sparkle?
Help is just a click away on new websites that provide an outlet for selling jewellery from past relationships, sharing break-up stories and helping broken hearts heal.
”You go through a divorce. What do you do with that ring? Maybe you have a child you can pass it on to. Maybe you don’t. It just sits there,” said Marie Perry, who with her stepdaughter Megahn Perry runs www.exboyfriendjewelry.com.
”We wanted to create a platform in the community where people can get in contact with others with similar needs,” Perry told Reuters.
Three months after its launch with the slogan ”You Don’t Want It. He Can’t Have It Back,” the website has 3 000 registered users and more than 600 postings of rings, bracelets and earrings for sale — all with a personal tale attached. – Reuters
