So, I am not a collector but I do have hoarding tendencies I have to ruthlessly curtail.

But as we all know, I love jewelry. LOVE IT. But as a result: all of my jewelry is very personal to me. My favorite pendant was for our 10th anniversary and I designed it with BGD, and I got to know Lesley and Brian and it was such a fun project. So much fun. My favorite earrings were a Christmas gift from the Ex. and they were from Bill Pearlman and I loved that man, etc. You get the point.

SO I haven't been wearing jewelry for about 5 years now. I sold my engagement ring to a very good home (so happy it went to a PSer!). And the rest I've worn for some special occasions but not with new fiancé.

So, I am struggling with that. I know it's weird but it's all tied up in a lot of big emotions. And so... not sure what to do about that.

It is a part of my history. But most of it is bittersweet right now. Should I sell it? Keep it? Pull the diamonds and put them into new settings?

What have you guys done? What would you do? What do you think?
