I am going to ask for all of the jewelry I gave her throughout our relationship back because she has told me, twice, that the jewelry is "meaningless" to her. I will exclude her engagement ring and wedding band from the request so she sees it's not about money. I will give them to my sisters and nieces. What think you?
If it is not about money, does the jewelry have sentimental value.......like maybe it belonged to your great-grandmother? IMHO, unless this is the case, then I think you need to ask yourself what is the point or where is the real value in why you want any pieces back.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
