Jewelry is made of many different materials, some of them more durable than others. Hematite, for example, is an inexpensive material sometimes used in jewelry. However, it's also somewhat fragile. I've read many stories of how acts of clumsiness resulted in fragile jewelry breaking.
And I can't help but think to myself, I probably shouldn't choose anything fragile for jewelry. Let's face it, I'd find some way to accidentally break it. As I thought more about this, many wild and absurd scenarios emerged in my mind. Allow me to explain.
