STOLEN - Zuni Jewelry - Tucson, AZ

The following items were stolen from a home in Tucson, AZ on or about July 11, 2016.

Among the items taken were zuni inlaid earrings, a bracelet, and a ring.  These were purchased from a dealer near Yuma Arizona in the early 1950's.  I have not yet found pictures of the jewelry but my husband has a bolo tie that was of the same design and that was not stolen.  I have scanned a picture of that and reproduced a credible likeness of the stolen pieces.  The inlaid disks were a little smaller than the bolo tie but otherwise identical.  Etched on back are the letters EXX.

The Bolo Tie was not stolen but is similar to the missing items.

Police officer to contact is Det. Jason Bredehoft, Tucson Police Dept, Midtown-Neighborhood Crimes.  520 837 7475.  Jason.bredehoft@tucsonaz.gov

MY MESSAGE TO THE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE AND FRIENDS WHO HELPED IN RECOVERY OF MY JEWELRY: Words cannot express what it has meant to me for your quick action in alerting me to sites and shops selling my stolen jewelry which led to its recovery. The excellent Santa Fe Detectives working with me were in absolute awe of our community of friends, dealers and collectors who were on the constant search for my jewelry and found it. As you might imagine, and I know many of you have been through this also, this last year has been heart wrenching for me and I have been so grateful for every piece that found its way back to me. It was profound to receive late-night emails and texts sending links to my jewelry. One thing that can never be stolen is the love and concern I have felt from all of you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.... Joan
