Stolen Jewelry:
1. one piece bracelet w/blue cut sapphire and diamond 18K
(series # MBD 124) sold in Thailand 1-19-1998 for 253,260
baht (currently, 1 baht = .0325 cents, or $8230.95 ) receipt
documentation available
2. One 18K(stamped) gold and Diamond wedding set. The guard
style wedding ring features a double formfitting band soldered
together at the base with two tabs. The polished ring measures
14.06 mm in width across the top, tapers to 5.83 mm at the baser
and weighs 5.94 grams complete. Entire set (I was wearing
the diamond engagement ring and away from home during the
robbery) was appraised by PGL, Pacific Gemological Laboratory,
Inc. on 5/3/2007 for $40,815.00. Doc. available
3. one piece long (approx. 28”), intricately worked linked 24K gold
Thai necklace, approx. 10 grams. By weight only, approx $600.00.
However, the workmanship was outstanding; I would have paid at
least $1200.00 for the piece.
4. long (30”)18K gold ‘bolo’ tie style necklace. Each end of the round
smooth yellow gold ‘rope’ terminates with diamond heads holding
a very large pearl; one black pearl (looks more blue in color) and
one white pearl. The clasp connecting the 2 sides is a small bow
shape crusted in diamonds; a second matching clasp is at back (in
gold only) to adjust length. Heirloom item, must have been worth
at least $15,000.00
5. 2 gold wedding rings, one w/ 3 bands fused; the inner band is
18 or 22K (gold from India), outer are 14K; other ring was wide,
slightly tapered, 18K. value by weight in gold I would assume.
6. Two 14K gold bracelets, one approx. ½” wide tight weave, one
link style
7. One set 24K gold post type earrings (from India) with textured
heads
8. Seiko 14K gold watch, about 8 yrs. old.
9. Movado gold 18K flat band single dot face watch. This was
an heirloom from the 1980’s, I think at the time part of
their ‘museum’ series.

worth $295.00; documentation available)
