Armed Robbery at House in Pretoria

Approximately 10 days ago a client of mine had an armed robbery at her house in Pretoria. Approximately a hundred pieces of antique and vintage jewellery were taken. Some of it were very valuable and large pieces that belonged to her mother and grandmother. In some cases, the containers in which the jewellery were kept were also taken. An inventory of the jewellery inherited from her grandmother compiled by Eduard Bernardi in 1979 is also available from her.
