We're on board with Courtney Love wanting to draw attention to her neck, wrists and earlobes rather than her butt crack...but are her methods suspect?

The former Hole frontwoman has been accused of failing to return several pieces of bling, collectively worth $113,700, to a New York City jeweler.

According to a lawsuit filed by Jacob & Co., which was founded by the recently imprisoned "Jacob the Jeweler" Arabov, Love returned a floral-design mesh bracelet, but claims to have lost two white-gold-and-diamond chains and a pair of white-gold-and-diamond pavé hoop earrings.

Even if she did misplace or damage the pieces, the suit states, Love was still responsible for them and needs to either give them back or reimburse Jacob & Co. for their full cost.

Love's rep hasn't yet responded to the suit, not the first fashion-related complaint ever filed against the outspoken singer.
