In trading emails about the California Supreme Court’s decision in favor of same-sex marriage, GMail text ads served me an ad for the following site: BrokenEngagement.com. I quote:

“We’re here to help you move on by letting go of items you just don’t want anymore… the ring, a pair of earrings, a pendant, a watch, or a tennis bracelet… because those items no longer have sentimental value. But they do have monetary value.

“Take your time, and take a good look at the information we’ve compiled on the best way to sell your unwanted jewelry: with security, confidentiality, personal service and a deep level of trust.

“No auctions. No consignments. No classifieds. We make you a cash offer for your unwanted jewelry.”
