No, I love it, and I will not hide out of fear. That being said I will tuck it in if the situation merits it.  Sport this when I can. Nice watch Junior |

It's funny because womens' wedding/engagement rings are generally far more valuable then plain gold jewelry and you rarely, if ever hear of issues with women wearing those rings.

That's probably because you don't see as many ads to buy old used diamonds. These thugs want stuff easy to sell.

One reason why I love my wedding band is that it is white gold..doesn't attract the eye too much :)

In a bad neighborhood gold could get you killed. Yes, it could... but then, so could certain kinds of jackets and shoes. Best to avoid such neighborhoods and the hoods who are there. Quote:

Not too worried. Avoid the neighborhood and not avoid show off (modestly). Though having been a watch fanatic for a while before getting into physical PM, I could be sporting a fortune on my wrist that the average joe wouldn't give a second glance to. Quote:

- I heard of one case in India (recent, summer 2011) where a woman was robbed of her gold earrings, and her ears were ripped off to expediate the robber's escape. There are also house burglars who work naked and oil themselves up to avoid getting caught.
- Aren't diamonds hard to fence? They are certified and tightly controlled. The money is in the metal, I would guess, because the diamonds would be reported stolen, so thieves would unset the stone and only profit from the melting of the rest of the ring. No need to go dabbling in diamonds.

Never been into wearing jewelry, but I have a nondescript Tradition wristwatch I wear because it's self-winding, not because it's 41 jewel or prolly a half ounce of gold. |

Toddlers/kids/children don't need to be wearing expensive jewelry, any more than they need tattoos, high heels, alcohol, or car keys. For the one kid in 1000 who is responsible enough to care for bling, there's 999 others who think of mom and dad as a warranty for carelessness. Kids don't understand value.

Thanks Ed, I feel the same way. No prob, TBK. I'd like to have one of those for my wife. Might be useful for getting her into PMs.  Quote:
