Half of the accessories I wear are basically a chronicle of my relationship history.
A necklace made with pieces from the one I made for my first girlfriend. I never got a chance to give it to her, and it eventually broke.
A set of 15 bangle bracelets given to me from my first boyfriend. They used to be black and pink, but after being worn almost daily for eight years, they're silver and copper. Some have been lost. Originally I thought of them as shackles to remind me of the mistake I made back then, but I stopped wearing them for a spell. Recently I started wearing them again, thinking of them not as reminders of that past, but as a part of me. And tbh I've come to love the little jingle whenever I move.
A set of kandi from my best friend at the time of the above incident... she was pretty relevant to it. Most of my favorite kandi have broken or are fragile since the wire is very old by now.
A pair of tomodachi cat pendants, each intended to be worn by one of two best friends. Kitty and I originally each wore one of these, but I ended up with both after we broke up. Even if we're apart, I make sure the cats don't have to be.
A butterfly necklace that was originally going to be a gift for another partner of mine who was particularly drawn to that motif. Once again, I wasn't able to give it to her, so I wear it myself in her place.
An amethyst bracelet I bought on a trip with a close friend of mine who I had feelings for for years, and still occasionally dream about.
A cross necklace I accidentally imbued with a charm regarding someone who was until recently a close friend of mine, and who once thought we were dating. Possibly because of that charm... Now that I think about it, I really should have dispelled that a long time ago.
A pair of matching amethyst and citrine bracelets I've shown off once already. Older members probably know the story there already.
A heart-emblemed collar, which I currently wear daily for someone known around here. But I'll do them a favor and keep that one a secret.
In addition to all of that, I also commonly wear a necklace with a crystal ball in a dragon claw given to me by my mother. It was originally custom made by an old man in the renaissance, so it is likely one of the few surviving ones of its kind.
