I imagine I'm not the only jewelry lover to do this, but when I am selecting my jewelry for the day, I often consider safety because there are a few areas of town that I have to travel in (due to my real icky day job - though I just gave my notice last week - yah!) that aren't exactly the safest in the world. These are days that I don't opt to wear my platinum coin pendant, which is set in an 18kt Gold bezel, or my super big gold chain with loads of diamond cutting. Instead, I opt for a thinner gold necklace and maybe some basic gold hoop earrings. Sad, but true.

Now, I'm not saying to wear your flashy bling and then walk into the nearest pool hall, but still, there's a lot to be said for being prepared and fashionable at the same time, so I thought this product from Pepperface.com is worth considering, maybe even giving as a gift for a lover of fine jewelry.

Thier top of the line 18kt gold-plated model is called Glamorous Gold, and they also have a number of options, such as crystal covered pepper cans as well an attachable bracelet.






So, are these over the top? More dangerous to the wearer than the criminal? Or totally worth it and a brilliant idea?
