Holiday Fashion- Alpha Jewel Lok

The holidays see an increase in the sales most retail product groups; in particular there is a distinct rise in jewelry sales. Jewelry has been a part of the consumer holiday buying patterns in two distinct areas. 
The first is because it makes for a meaningful holiday present. A nice piece of jewelry is remembered for years to come. Every time the recipient wears the item, they will remember the giver and the holiday fondly. It is also an easy answer to the question of what to buy. Since necklaces, earrings, etc., are one size fits all for most purposes, jewelry takes a lot of the guesswork out of the buying process. You don’t have to worry as much about buying the right size, or color, or style. A high quality item of jewelry will speak for itself.
Secondly, costume jewelry is an integral of holiday party fashion. For many women, one dress or outfit is used for several parties or gatherings. It a more affordable option to use less expensive pieces of costume jewelry and accessories to change the look of an outfit. One of the current fashion trends is to wear statement necklaces as the focal point of an outfit. They can range in price from a few dollars to several hundred, depending upon the style and the store that carries them.
The extension of this re-accessorizing of an outfit to help reduce out of pocket costs is that some people will resort to shoplifting as a means of obtaining several strikingly different pieces of jewelry. Seeing the need to have multiple statement necklaces to wear with a single little black dress, or other similar scenarios, shoplifters will steal the pieces they need, when they need them.
That means that some shoplifters will go into a store and end up stealing one piece of jewelry. If they are not caught, they may come back to the same store to try and steal other items. Depending upon what they feel they need, and how comfortable they have become in the process, a shoplifter may go from stealing one tiny pair of earrings to stealing another pair of earrings, a necklace, bracelet and a cocktail ring as well. 
Just like any other shoplifter, a pattern will emerge of how they are going to steal. They will also increase in frequency and quantity as they become more comfortable shoplifting from a specific store. These patterns happen more frequently in stores that have minimal security features, or retail anti theft devices that are easily defeated.
The Alpha Jewel Lok products are designed to not be easily defeated, both in the store setting and outside of the retail store’s location. This means that even if a shoplifter decides to steal a piece of jewelry from a store protected by the Alpha Security Alpha Jewel Lok retail anti theft devices, they will not be able to remove the devices without ruining the jewelry in the process. Most shoplifters will not risk being caught and not being able to use the jewelry even if they do get away with the theft.
