Among the major items stolen was a womanâs 15K yellow gold ruby and diamond ring, circa 1900, featuring a large ruby in the center with rose-cut chips all around it; they are set in platinum, which gives it a marcasite effect. There are balls on the inside of the band to make it smaller.
A manâs Victorian rose gold watch fob/locket was also taken. The square cornelian agate is embossed with a manâs face in a classical style and the back opens to reveal a photo of a woman and a lock of hair.
