Should I give it away?

[Anonymous]

I bought myself a beautiful secondhand diamond flower ring on a white gold band and then realised that I really don’t need it. Or value it, because I bought it for myself, rather than it’s having sentimental value. One of my friends gives me a beautiful bouquet of flowers every year, for my birthday. Should I give it to her for her next birthday?

Yo, that's a tough one. On one hand, that ring you bought sounds really nice and your friend would probably be stoked to get it as a birthday gift. But on the other hand, since you bought it for yourself, it might not have the same sentimental value, you know?

I think the key thing is to really think about how you feel about that ring. Is it just taking up space now that you realize you don't need it? Or is there some part of you that's attached to it, even if you don't wear it?

If it's truly just collecting dust and you have no emotional connection to it, then passing it along to your friend could be a really cool way to give her an awesome gift. She'd probably be super stoked to get a beautiful piece of jewelry like that, especially since it's from you.

But if you think there's even a little part of you that might miss having it, even if you don't wear it, then maybe you should hold onto it. No point in giving away something you might end up regretting down the line.

At the end of the day, it's your ring and your call. But if you're certain you don't need or want it, your friend would probably be thrilled to get it as a birthday present. Just make sure you're 100% cool with parting with it first. Don't wanna end up feeling bummed later, ya know?

Let me know what you end up deciding. I'm curious to see how this plays out!

If you like it, you should keep it and wear it.
