You have a ring that makes you cry every time you look at it. Or you have a necklace that your ex gave you two days before you found out he was fucking his coworker.

Instead of letting these things sit in your jewelry box collecting dust, sell that shit.

One site where you can sell the crap he gave you is Ex Boyfriend Jewelry.

On this site, sellers tell you the story of the item, like this one:

The Scoop:

Well, my EX-fiance broke up with me for a 16 year old, which he was 22. A little illegal! Then while him and I were going to get back together he started dating someone 2 years younger than me and got engaged to her a month after dating her!

Jewelry Description:

White Gold band, 3-stones diamond approximately 1/2 carat

Jewelry Rating:

Beautiful ring, small, but elegant.

And then there is Out Of Your Life. You can go online or call their toll-free number and request a "break up box."

This site has a jazzy commercial that plays on WE, Oxygen and the Hallmark Channel all the time. But your ex couldn't have been a cheap bastard, because underneath their sellable items list are names like:

Bulgari, Cartier, Charles Krypell, David Yurmanand Doris Panos.

So, that $3.99 watch from Target or Wal Mart would be worth selling to Out Of Your Life.

And that engagement ring? Here's what the site says about diamonds:

OutOfYourLife.comSM buys diamonds of all shapes and sizes, preferably one-half carat or larger, and is able to offer high prices thanks to a long-standing relationship with one of the world's largest diamond buyers.

Here's a word of caution about Out Of Your Life, their Facebook page is filled with complaints.

One woman said this:

I sent in a yellow diamond ring that I bought DISCOUNTED for $7000 and got 286 dollars from Out of Your Life!!! This organization is horrible, sell your jewelry locally or directly to a consumer. I got my jewelry back and will never use this joke of a company again.

If these sites don't suit your taste, there is always the old standby of the pawn shop.

    I thought killing yourself while experiencing an orgasm was just an old wives' tale.
