Should you give jewelry back after breakup

The Willing Returner - Rosie Cave, assistant to the publishing director

I have always been a firm believer in returning gifts after a break-up.

What to do with jewelry from an ex

If it was recently given prior to the breakup then it should be given back but if someone's worn it for a long time it's become theirs.

There's no law saying you have to give these gifts back.

I remember my first – my high-school sweetheart and I called it quits after two years together. By the end of our relationship I had hoarded an unusual array of things that he’d bought me; a Tiffany bracelet, a Body Shop bath set, a teddy bear, and a T-shirt that had been printed with our faces on it.

They all formed a small part of the pile that I created after clearing my room out. I strode over to his house and handed them over.

Unless a piece of jewellery was intended to be returned to the purchaser, the general rule is that the person who received it keeps it and is.

It was the last move I had to make to confirm the relationship was over. By returning the gifts, it allowed me to close our chapter and move on, and that is what I have always done ever since.

With age comes wisdom, and I would like to think that I am less dramatic than I was at 18, but I still feel - particularly after those tougher break ups - that returning the gifts is a process which closes the relationship and allows you to move on from it.
