Mets Pitcher's Jewels Lost and Found

Filed under: Jewelry, Celebrity Shopping

New York Mets pitcher Ambiorix Burgos has better luck than some other celebrities who have had their jewels stolen. Burgos, who reported $270,000 worth of jewelry stolen from his St. Lucie West hotel room on Tuesday, got his belongings back. An unidentified man dropped off a jewelry-filled black bag several hours after the bag was reported missing. Burgos told police his bag was missing after he switched rooms. Employees with access to the rooms said they did not take it but a few hours later a man came in to the hotel with the bag, put it on the counter saying he had found it outside, and ran away. The most interesting part of the story to me is that the police called Ambiorix Burgos Tuesday night to let him know but the pitcher was too busy to return to the police station to identify the bag until Wednesday. Perhaps these are just Burgos's traveling jewels.

UPDATE: A housekeeper at the hotel has been charged with grand theft for stealing the bag and Burgos says some items worth between $10,000 to $20,000 are still missing.

The Forma Stoneware Pitcher is a beautiful piece of stoneware, so it is just icing on the cake that it happens to be as durable and versatile as you could want a serving piece to be. It can be used for water, wine or even as a flower vase. The advantage to using it as a pitcher is that its cylindrical design prevents it from taking up too much space on the table, while the thick stone of the pitcher keeps liquids cool. It is handcrafted and very sturdy. It measures 3 1/4"W x 12" H and can hold up to 1.5qt. of liquid. Price: $88.

The Ostrich Egg Jug is for the hostess who has it all. It is made from a real ostrich egg, with sterling silver spout, handle and base. The concept came from the fact that some tribes in South Africa used the giant birds' shells to carry water for thousands of years, taking advantage of their impressively sturdy build. The jug measures 7.75" x 4.75" and can one egg's worth of water or other liquid, or about 60-ounces. Price: $385.
