In an age of heightened security across all facets of life, stories like these make you wonder about the effectiveness of such methods and about how crafty some people can be.
Two thieves walked into the Cartier store on Via Condotti, a fashionabl
e street in Rome and merely asked to see the store”s most expensive rings, including the prized 500,000 Euro ring in question.
One of them distracted the salesperson while the other made a quiet exit. The other man soon followed and there are reports that a getaway car may have been involved.
Cartier can only confirm that the ring is worth the said amount and was stolen, other particulars like the design etc have not been confirmed yet. Italian press reports suggest that the ring has a 5-carat diamond as the centerpiece and the rest of it was encrusted with a smaller diamond.
Regardless, we know that Cartier are premier designers of fine, luxury jewellery and their diamond ring is worth a lot of money. We hope that the police are able to catch the thieves and that jewellers around the world are even more vigilant when trying to stop thefts like these.
Thievery of this sort affects everybody!
