Thanks ladies! I do love love love my love bracelet. I've actually stopped wearing it right after the break up for about a month and missed it so much that I had to put it back on, and it's been on ever since.

Yes it does remind me of him, and yes it does bring back a lot of memories. I have a love ring from him as well which I no longer wear, because of what's engraved inside, it's just too sad for me to continue wearing it. My bracelet is also engraved, but with just a symbol. My ex and I are still very close friends, I don't know if it's gonna be weird that I continue wearing it like it's okay.

P.s. And I'm wearing the hell out of it, it's so scratched that I don't even care anymore. :)

Aww first of all, I'm sorry about the breakup. Relationships are tough and it's nice that you guys remain close friends! Jewelry is a lot more intimate than other things like bags and shoes, especially a Love bracelet. Since it seems like you really do love your bracelet just aside from the sentimental value of it, I would do what you did which is wear the hell out of it!

Since it seems like an amiable separation I think keeping it around (rather than reselling for less to buy another one and spend even more money) sounds like the better option--but you can always change that if you feel differently later! Love and hugs to you! :heart: :hugs:

Thanks for the loves and hugs! Now I see it more as a gift from a very dear friend instead, but my friends think I'm crazy to still be wearing it. I could care less, it's Cartier 😂

On the other hand, I'm more worried that my next guy will mind that I'm wearing a love bracelet from my ex, not that I have one yet, but it's something that I've thought about.

I was thinking that too! He def won't dig it so wear it for now but be prepared to sell it as soon as he enters your life or there will be some loud discussions :)

Why would you need to tell the next guy? Most guys I know don't really care about a women's jewelry etc as long as you're not expecting them to buy you an expensive piece of jewelry :smile1:. If it was a wedding or engagement ring that would be obvious and a new guy may question you about that. However most men would just assume your love is just a plain gold bracelet.
The next guy may or may not be your future husband so getting rid of something you enjoy for next guy is silly IMO. As long as you still enjoy wearing it, I think that's all that matters.
