Need advice on cleansing a piece of jewelry... or not. (Also, apologies if I've mistagged this!)
Okay. Long story short, I got involved in a very intense relationship - group of relationships, really, some physical and some metaphysical - between April and August of this year. It's taken me this long to accept that there's no fixing something that's been broken, smashed, and then ground to a powder. (And that I shouldn't want to fix something as unhealthy as several of the connections that were made, but, well. I'm still recovering from being a romantic, cut me a little slack, please?)
I had sent all of the things one party involved had given me back to that person, or so I thought. While rummaging around in a backpack I'd last used in July, my hand hit something small and hard and cold. After a momentary freakout because there was not supposed to be anything in there, I seized the object and pulled it out.
It's a necklace given to me (by the person I sent things back to) for a dear friend who nearly cut ties with me over some of the things that went on this summer. Amethyst, set in gold (which is decidedly not his favorite metal to wear, but put on a less ladies'-jewelry-looking chain I think it'll suit him fine). I'm not sure what I should do with it.
On the one hand, I could cleanse it of any potential ties back to them, and go ahead with giving it to him; however, I'm not sure how to go about cleansing an object, as opposed to a space or a person. Advice there, please?
Or should I just mail it back to the person who gave it to me?
