JAKARTA - Indonesian international singer Anggun C Sasmi shared a shocking personal story about her jewelry collection. Behind her success on the world stage, who would have thought that the Mimpi singer had experienced a bitter incident related to her valuable items.
Anggun recounted the first time she bought a diamond in the early 2000s. For Anggun, the diamond is not just a piece of jewelry, but a symbol of appreciation for the hard work she did while pioneering her career in Europe.
"The 2000s, if I was. So that's what I said, I worked hard, so I wanted to give a gift to myself. I bought a diamond ring," recalled Anggun when met in Central Jakarta, Wednesday, May 20.
However, the happiness of having the first diamond did not last long. Anggun revealed that the ring full of memories was stolen by a thief. In fact, he had kept it in a place he considered safe in his house in Paris.
"It's a shame, a few years later it was robbed. I put it in a safe box (safe) at home, but that's how it is, living in Paris, guys. It turns out to be a mistake," he said.
Although he felt sad because the goods had historical value, Anggun tried to be tough and considered the incident an unavoidable disaster.
Furthermore, Anggun broke the perception of many people who think that living in Europe is always safe and free from crime. Based on his experience, he has even been a victim of theft twice while living there.
"I've been beaten twice, dong. Yes. Don't think that in Europe it (always safe), no. Especially now that the crime rate is getting higher," he said.
This mother of one reminded people to stay vigilant, because criminal acts can happen anywhere, including in fashion cities like Paris.
Although he once lost his hard-earned diamond, Anggun now has one piece of jewelry that he considers the most valuable and he never takes it off his finger. The jewelry is his wedding ring which also has a diamond.
"There is one ring that I never take off, is my wedding ring, which is also diamond," he concluded with a smile.
