Thoughts on jewelry from ex-bfs

I have kept one piece from an ex because it was actually given to me by his mother. The rest I sold. I would also consider having the stones re-set and the metal melted down considering the cost of metals per ounce right now...
 
I only had one serious past bf who gave me jewelry, when we broke up I offered to give it back, but he refused it, I kept it all for awhile and then ended up listing it on ebay.
 
I actually buy my own jewelry. My BFs haven't typically had my taste, so anything they spend is wasted, IMO. My current BF has terrific taste (and his family owns a jewelry store!), so he is helpful in advising me, plus I get a pretty hefty discount. But ultimately I buy my jewelry for me, and I would feel obligated to return it if we broke up, so I buy it myself so that situation never arises.
 
I think I still have a pearl necklace and a gold heart with my name on it in storage. The gold heart... well... I can't really sell it with my name engraved on it, can I? If I still have it, I'll chuck it when I get home. And the pearl necklace, well I like pearls, but I sure don't wear them enough to justify getting rid of this one just to buy another.
