Jewelry Stolen in Second Forced Entry Burglary

More than $7,500 in jewelry was stolen from a Downers Grove home after an intruder pried open a back window and ransacked the place, Downers Grove police said Thursday.
The incident is the second forced entry burglary to occur in the Downers Grove area in the last week. Two motorcycles and some money, among other things, were taken from a car repair facility that was entered and also ransacked in similar fashion over the weekend.

“You can never say for sure if they are connected, you don’t know,” said Sgt. Dave Bormann of the Downers Grove police, who advised residents to make sure their doors and windows are locked when not home.

“If you are concerned about your safety we can send somebody out to do a home inspection,” he said.

According to a police report, a resident of the 7000 block of Grand Avenue came home to find her belongings scattered about the house. Sensing something was amiss, the resident called police who conducted a search, a report states.

Only jewelry was taken from the home, based on a police inventory of items taken. Items missing include two high-end watches valued at a combined $6,000, police said. Also missing were a number of women’s bracelets valued at a combined total of about $1,200.

Police say they think the house was burglarized sometime between 10 a.m. on Oct. 25, when the woman’s husband left for work, and 7:20 p.m. that same day, when the woman returned home from work.

It appears whoever took the jewelry exited the home through a back door, police said.

Bormann said police have no suspects.

Make smart perfectionist 

Pursuit of the perfect smart bride must learn the most practical and smart way, in a given budget to realize their bright dreams. First of all, we want to measure diamond quality standards in accordance with the carat 4C - Cut - Color - Clarity, such standards to sort, considered the foremost representative of the first test of the condition, and so on. Carat is the most easily identified 4C and measurement features, because we all know that the same quality of diamond, the greater the more precious, but also because of the rarity of large diamonds, carat weight and price would change with the exponentially increasing, for example, 1 2 kt diamond than a 1 carat diamond three to four times as expensive, not many people think twice.

In determining the size of a good diamond, we consider the cut diamond, cut is the only 4C by a more human factors, one has a superb diamond cut diamond can be shown to maximize radiant light. And a perfect cut diamond or even make up for the other three deficiencies, it seems larger and more white. Speaking of color, although the more white the better, but as long as normal to H color can be accepted. Common with prospective new to the diamond counter, mouth and even VVS grade level must VS clarity diamonds. This seemingly technical requirement is not correct. Clarity in fact be the last taken into account. Wise bride will not be rejected at the outset, a slightly lower clarity diamond, as long as we can achieve the level of SI Diamond, in most cases, the internal tiny inclusions are invisible, and thus would not It is a brilliant light effects Hyun.

Of course, if this sum down or think of complex words, Forevermark permanent mark on the diamond can provide a simple but perfect solution. Forevermark permanent mark on all diamonds not only does each one have a unique imprint code, in 4C also has strict standards. Only the weight of 0.18 karats or more color than in H color, SI2 clarity in the above, and the cut in the very good level over the diamond to be eligible to become permanent mark on Forevermark diamonds. Presented by such a strict selection had been in an excellent quality of the diamond, then consider yourself too as long as the budget, to see whether the specifications on one would have some personal preferences, and then select the style you can have their own ideal of drilling diamond rings.
