Van Cleef Necklace Stolen in Vienna | Vancouver News

A jaw-dropping heist in Vienna saw thieves smash open a display case at the Museum of Applied Arts during regular hours, stealing a priceless Van Cleef & Arpels necklace once owned by Queen Nazli of Egypt — valued at millions, encrusted with over 600 diamonds and 200 carats of platinum. This marks the biggest art theft in Vienna since the infamous 2003 gold salt shaker robbery. Authorities have flagged the necklace with INTERPOL, while another major theft hit Spain’s Villena museum, where ancient gold artifacts dating back 3,000 years vanished. Despite the brazen thefts, Vienna’s exhibition has reopened with the display area secured — and the hunt is on for both treasures.
