These are uncertain times. With the financial crisis, more and more people are resorting to crime as a means of making money. Add to that the rising numbers of drug use, and you’ve got a potentially big crime spree in the city. That is why you should keep your valuables safe.
Keep your money in a bank and withdraw only amounts as needed. Keep your jewelry in a safe; don’t leave your crystal jewelry on your nightstand or dressing table. If you don’t have a safe, keep your jewelry under lock and key in your cabinet. This will at least stall any would be thief instead of simply letting him run away with your jewelry box scott free. Constantly check your alarm systems, lock your doors securely before you leave, and for goodness sake, do not leave your spare key under your doormat or in your mailbox.
When people talk about appreciating nature, they are often referring to observation of wildlife, weather patterns or picturesque mountain scenes. In fact, nature’s splendid grandeur extends below the surface of the earth as well. Many of the most distinctive, eye-catching gemstones have been mined from the earth’s crust and fashioned into wearable jewelry.
The astonishing tiger’s eye gem is just one of these. The tiger’s eye gets its name from the unique bands of red and black stone that interweave throughout its middle. Technically speaking, the red is a deposit of jasper and the black is hematite. From a jewelry enthusiast’s standpoint, however, the mineral contents of gemstone bracelets aren’t as important as their visual appeal.
