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.

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.


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

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.

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.

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

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