問題詳情:
Diamonds may be forever. But what’s a girl to do when she gets dumped (失戀) or divorced (離婚) and those rings, necklace and love gifts lose their emotional (情感) sense?
Help is just a click away on new Web sites that provide an outlet for selling jewelry(珠寶) from past relationships, sharing break-up stories and helping broken hearts heal (癒合).
“You go through a divorce. What do you do with that ring? Maybe you have a child you can pass it on to. Maybe you don’t. It just sits there, ” said Megan Perry, who with her stepmother (繼母) Marie Perry runs .
Three months after its start with the slogan(口號) “You Don’t Want It. He Can’t Have It Back,” the web site has 3,000 registered users and more than 600 postings of rings, bracelets and earrings for sale—all with a personal tale attached.
As one woman posting a diamond ring for $3,500 wrote:
“Beautiful ring came with a wrong man. Decided to sell to regain the money that I spent finishing payments on the ring that my ex didn’t.”
The idea was born when Megahn Perry, a Los Angeles actress and writer, was looking for a safe place to sell a wedding set after a divorce and realized others might have former boyfriends’ jewelry with memories(記憶) that make them too painful to wear.
The local pawn shop(當鋪) proved an unattractive choice. So she teamed up with her stepmother Marie, researched the market and found a gap in it.
