Receiving jewelry from a man you aren’t married to

Question:

What are the halachot of accepting jewelry from a guy you are not married to?

 

Answer:

Without getting into the actual tznius issues, of why would a boy who a girl is not married to give her jewelry… (unless they are planning to get married). However the only other halachic issue that I know of would be that the gift should not mistakely turn into his marrying her by giving her this gift. Better let him not give it to her directly, and if he says anything about kiddushin or marriage, throw it back at him, to show him you don’t want it, as something that might cause you to be married to him..

Best wishes
