'It's their whole life,' Brandy Swanson, manager of the International Gem and Jewelry Show, said of some of the jewelers whose merchandise was stolen. 'Some of these people are completely done at this point.'
Millions of dollars worth of jewelry on its way to a jewelry and gem show at the Pasadena Convention Center was stolen from an armored truck in northern Los Angeles County.
A 19-karat yellow gold necklace with more than 100-karat of multicolored sapphires stolen from a jeweler who spoke with CBSLA. The high-end jewelry was last seen at a trade show in the San Mateo Event Center last weekend. Sunday night, merchandise belonging to 18 different jewelers was loaded onto a Brinks truck destined for the convention center in Pasadena. The victims are part of the International Gem and Jewelry Show.
"They're returning, sometimes, our calls, but there's no information," the jeweler said."I don't know if its under investigation. I don't know. I can't anything right now." The jeweler said that he doesn't have a showroom. All of his business is done by traveling to trade shows, one by one, so this was more than just merchandise to him.
