Following on from Bubbly’s theme of gold accessories in your wardrobe, did you know that Asian neighbourhoods are being targeted by burglars for their gold? The months of July and August are particularly bad as they are notorious for Asian weddings.
The record high prices of gold as a commodity means that it is far more valuable than any high tech entertainment system or even a car. Asians are being targeted for the purity of their gold jewellery which consists of 18 or 24 carat. Households are being watched and multiply raided. One house in Kenton, London, was burgled twice in a month and women in the area have been urged not to wear their gold jewellery in the streets due to a number of muggings.
So whilst gold is fashionable, donning fake gold may just be the sensible option!
