Would you give your old flame's jewellery to your new love?

DON'T you just love surveys carried out by PR departments? One latest piece of such research tells us that one in four people in the UK would lavish their current partner with jewellery originally splashed out on for a former love.

Charming. The good news is that apparently, three quarters of us, erm wouldn't.

The poll of "almost" 2,000 (well 1,904) people was carried out by Bloom & Co, a jewellery repair and remodelling service.

They reported that men were more likely to give jewellery from an ex to a new partner than women with almost 15% of men happy to pass off the gift as new as long as their current partner never found out. However, 7% of those questioned were more prepared to change the old jewellery a bit by remodelling or altering the style so that the gift was a little more personal.

When it came to what to do with old engagement rings, the survey’s respondents were pretty split with 43% saying you should always give it back to your ex. 40% however were adamant that the ring was theirs to do with what they liked. And in most cases, this seems to be ‘put it in a drawer and forget about it’ as nearly 43% of those questioned had a ring that they had not worn for more than five years.
