Request for help...easy question

Could someone please refresh my memory about the name of a short story involving a hair brush and a watch fob or watch chain that two poor lovers exchanged as gifts. I thought it was de Maupassant but can't find it that way and wanted to revisit it.

Thanks

We have a winner, thank you! The story makes my point much better than I ever could but since it is for a college paper it needs to be attributed.

Was Guy de Maupassant "The Necklace," or does my memory do me disservice?

Was Guy de Maupassant "The Necklace," or does my memory do me disservice?Your memory does you disservice, I am afraid. 'The Diamond Necklace' is about a woman who works doing menial jobs to pay for a (fake) diamond necklace she borrowed and lost.
