A guy has a girlfriend or a wife or female partner. He buys jewelry but has the condition that it's His Jewelry he bought for "His Girl" so her, being his girlfriend or one of his girlfriends, can wear the jewelry but she does not own the jewelry or have any ownership in the jewelry unless he specifically gave it to her as a gift.

Can a guy do that and his girlfriend accept it? Or would most girls be offended?

I'm not talking about a cheap jewelry item but a designer brand fashion jewelry for girls. Something that is expensive enough that I will keep ownership but let a girl I'm with wear it, so it is my women's jewelry item that a female partner can borrow but doesn't own.

The worst thing a guy can do is give his female partner ownership of expensive items because then if she leaves then she can take them with her. Designer clothes are one thing since her since might not be a future partner's size but expensive or designer jewelry is another thing. She can take clothing but not jewelry unless it was a gift.

Agree or disagree?

Not a good idea. With women, if you let them borrow something of value, they will later rationalize that you gave it to them.

Have you ever had a girl ask for a loan? They will NEVER give it back because they think they don't have to.

If you gave a girl jewelry, you would never get it back. And if you tried, you would have no support from the police or anyone else.

The only exception would be an engagement ring. If a girl accepted an engagement ring, she must give it back by law if the marriage is called off. Courts have ordered women to give back engagement rings because they are gifts in anticipation of marriage.

Look at children. If you give a girl children, they take full ownership of them as their own especially after a divorce.

Money and things of value don't mix with women unless they are gifts that you don't need back.

I guess that makes sense. I was curious if guys could use that sort of tactic to their advantage when being involved with a girl but I guess not.
