Do you wear your good jewelry when you go out in the evening in DC?

I am talking about diamond rings and expensive watches. Do you leave them at home when you go out in the evenings in DC?

Yes. And we live + work in DC. I am out a lot downtown late at night wearing my jewelry.

I have one piece of “good” jewelry. It is my engagement ring. I usually wear it.

+2. I have more occasion to wear them in DC than in the suburbs.

Would you not wear them because you think you’ll be robbed, or because DC nightlife is not worthy of your good jewelry?

I’m amused by how suburbanites think DC is some kind of war zone. Where are you planning to go, OP? The Kennedy Center? I think you’ll be ok.

I heard OP’s going to an embassy dinner in Kalorama. I wouldn’t chance wearing the good stuff, OP. You’ll be on foreign territory and you never can know what may happen.

I have a watch that I don’t wear on the train. It’s pretty obvious and I don’t need to be worrying about it.

Same with a pair of earrings and a cocktail ring that are super flashy and very real. They are for events for which I take a cad direct to the destination only, partly because the earrings have slightly fussy hooks that I don’t trust, so I like to know there are only 1-2 places to look if one slips out.

Your question leads me to assume you are a sheltered/naive wealthy suburban mother. Yes, it is safe to wear your jewels in DC. I hope you enjoy your event.

Take them to a jeweler and have omega backs put on them.

Yes, I wear mine all the time. It is made to be worn.

Whyyyy would I do that? Is there something wrong with you?

I got mugged. Testified. And the guy had priors so went to jail for ten years. I moved out of DC.

So true. Muggings only happen in DC. Nowhere else.
