I don't think your question should have anything to do with Colombia is general or Pereira in particular.

Why would you wear expensive jewelry traveling anywhere, especially in a developing country?

Cheers,
Terry

Why to travel anywhere in the world with expensive jewerly? Chances are high that you can also forget them in a hotel or bathroom...

I am thinking of visiting NY later this summer and was wondering if a wad of benjies sticking out my back pocket would be safe walking around Times square?

You will have no problem in city central, but as you can get the drift here not much flash....If only the wedding ring and again you are in the main well to do areas no problem, anywhere else on the outskirts, not recommended.

Judging by the number of nine-fingered-toursists in downtown Pereira, I am thinking....

1.85 carot? Uh .... everybody I know in Colombia wouldn't dare go out on a Saturday night with a simple gold necklace. You are talking about a thing the size of 500 peso coin worth as much as 3 average annual Colombian salaries.

I take that back. I know one dude who goes out with a lot of gold and rings. He is also the only guy I know personally who was kidnapped. That was 8 or 10 years ago. Don't worry, you most likely won't be kidnapped now-a-days. They will just steal it ... I would lube your ring finger so you don't lose it as well.

BEWARE of gold diggers.

yes,... it will be very very safe... I suggest you also put on a nice diamond pendant, along with your ring, and some beautiful one carat stud earrings, and party like its 1999!!!

Go on!! Give it a Whirl!!!

This has nothing to do with Colombia, rather a troll...

on the chance this is a serious thread....leave your valuables and 'show-off' trinkets at home.

remember, if someone robs us, more often than not, we made them a thief.
