Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Men are the dumb rocks in which they came.

What do you do with jewelry from ex-boyfriends? Keep it, sell it… ack, give it back? (whatever).

The ladies over at Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry have the right idea: a web shopping area designed for women to rid themselves of all those heartfelt gifts received when he cared enough to buy the very best. Or make up for being such an asshole. Take some time and read the hilarious break up stories behind the pieces for sale. I tell you what, I’d get screwed over just to have some of these possessions!

Frankly, why would you want to keep something that reminded you of that piece of shit? I pondered for MONTHS on what to do with my engagement ring. I personally picked out my diamond and the emerald band, and I loved it (it was actually the SECOND diamond I picked out with the same man — first one, I never got). I even wore it on the other hand a few times when the engagement ended and contemplated turning it into something else. Ugh, my diamond was GORGEOUS! But did I want a constant reminder that I should have been married/children-ed/2 dogged by now (seriously, I would be married for two years already, weird)? No. I also didn’t need a reminder that I wasn’t enough for him to want to actually marry me. So, some other special lady is very happy in California.

By the way, the section “Gifts That Should Have Been Jewelry” is awesome. And yes, men, there’s a section for you.

This is great – shared this with a couple of folks that I know will appreciate this, and also a couple that might be able to help these folks out with some good publicity…

Dude! Thanks for this post. I have this dilemma – wanting to get rid of all the bits and baubles from past conquests. I ordered one of those scrap gold, old jewelry kits online, but it never came – leaving me with all of these shiny bad vibes on my dresser. I am going over to ex-boyfriend jewelry right now!

That website is great, thanks for the link. There are other options to keeping or selling, although maybe they are weird options. I had a friend who re-gifted her engagement ring to her younger sister as a Valentine’s Day present (they exchange those within their family). Always struck me as weird, but it worked for them. The sister got a nice ring (and a reminder of mistakes not to make she said) and my friend gets the occasional reminder of the different path her life could have taken when she sees her sister wearing it.

To “David” and “Matt”,

Unless you are indeed two females posing as males on this site supporting self-misandry, I don’t think you realized at all that the “dumb rocks” this site is referring to are you and I.

FJM – I realize that…I also realize that there are a-hole guys in this world. And there is the female equivalent as well.

Neither are worth the air that they consume on this planet.

If there’s a website to help girls get rid of stuff they got from the schmucks they thought were worth dating at the time, I’m all for that.

But the problem is, Matt, that society in America and various counties and so-called nations all around the world have indoctrinated a very sinister and horrible stigmatic view of the male gender in government and media that renders ALL MEN as DISPOSABLE. Society could care less about a woman who kills her husband/children, or a dignified, confident man.

The fact of the matter is that EVEN if you can get on the good side of women by agreeing with their motions to destroy your kind, you are no exception to their rule. They are STILL referring to you as a “dumb rock”. There is a PLETHORA of female equivalents who don’t deserve as much as a drink of water, but the world will not see it that way, especially as long as men continue to defer to women.

I posted in that very same Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry site, and because of the fact I criticize the hatred of men and speak the truth about it, they deleted all posts, including an interesting response given to me. The sad part is that many of these same females are SOCIALIZED to hate males. What’s worse is how many of them are not willing to change.

Yours In Truth,
