Overview
- Authorities said Friday the jewel has been recovered and is now in police custody.
- The man was arrested last week after a theft at a jewelry store in Auckland.
- An officer was assigned to continuously monitor the suspect during the six-day observation.
- The pendant is a special Fabergé edition inspired by the James Bond film Octopussy, crafted in 18-carat gold with diamonds and sapphires and valued at about $20,000.
- Police did not disclose the precise recovery method, and public interest is heightened by Fabergé’s famed eggs, recently highlighted by a record Christie’s auction.
