NWR - E-ring question

I am going to visit my sister in Florence, Italy next week. Is it dangerous to wear my e-ring if I will be alone some of the time?

IMO - if you are nervous about leaving it alone, don't bring it with you. put it in a safe place or with a relative u trust.

I would do what you feel comfortable with. If you are questioning it, then I might leave it home. I, personally, don't ever get freaked out about those things because someone would have to beat me senseless to get it But then again, I'm trained to take 300 pound men to the ground in two seconds flat, so, go with your gut

I agree, if you are nervous, why feel that way? I'd leave it in a safe deposit box here.

I NEVER wear my jewelery when I travel, I just don't want to worry about any of it.

I wore mine when I went to Italy. If I went shopping in the city I turned it around. They target foreigners. Be Careful

I wore mine traveling in and around London. I turned it around when I was in crowded areas walking around by myself.

You should be fine. It's not high season for tourists and mainly the Roma aka gypsies hang out mostly near train stations and bus stations.

You should be fine, but it depends on your comfort level!

I wouldn't cause I am paranoid, but I know the pick pockets target foreigners.

I have to say that if you are nervous, then leave it home because god forbid something did happen you would keep saying 'I knew I should have left it home!'

Have fun in Italy!

I don't think you need to leave it at home, but if you feel more comfortable doing that, than you should. Trust me, you won't be the only one walking around with expensive jewelry. And as for tourists being a target, to an extent that's very true. But what really makes you a target is the way you carry yourself.
