Overview

• Hundreds of handcrafted Navajo jewelry pieces, valued between $175,000 and $300,000, were stolen from the Jackson family's locked trailer in San Jose.
• The jewelry, marked with the family’s distinctive 'HJ' hallmark, represents over 50 years of cultural and artistic craftsmanship.
• Thieves reportedly drilled through the trailer’s lock while it was parked at the Aloft Hotel, leaving the family devastated and unable to vend at the Stanford Pow Wow.
• San Jose Police have launched an active investigation but have not identified suspects or recovered any of the stolen pieces.
• The Jacksons, whose insurance does not cover the loss, have started an online fundraiser and are appealing to the public for tips or sightings of their hallmark-marked jewelry.
