Officers investigating a burglary in Eastbourne have released images of the high-value jewellery items which are missing.
Police were called on March 15 after items worth tens of thousands of pounds were reported missing from an address in Staveley Road.
It is believed the items may have gone missing the previous afternoon on Tuesday, March 14.
Items reported missing included a 12-point star emerald and diamond brooch, an eight-point sapphire and diamond brooch, a gold ring with sapphires, a gold ring with emeralds, and a gold ring with diamonds.
There were also two pairs of earrings with pearls, diamonds and sapphires, two watches, an engagement ring and a signet ring that were reported missing.
Police have been investigating, and have conducted house to house enquiries and CCTV enquiries.
Images of some of the items are being released as part of the investigation.
Detective Sergeant Jason Hoadley said:
“We are releasing the images of the jewellery stolen in the hope that it may help to reunite these items with their rightful owner.
“The items are worth tens of thousands of pounds, but to the owner these items were priceless and irreplaceable.
"They included her engagement ring, and some of the most-treasured items belonged to her late husband, including his signet ring.
“For a thief to have taken these highly personal items is deplorable.
“We want anyone who may have seen the items for sale or online, or anyone who may have witnessed something suspicious in Staveley Road on March 14 to come forward.
“Information can be reported to Sussex Police online or on 101, quoting serial 238 of 15/03/2023.”
Information can also be reported anonymously to CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111 and quoting the same serial as above.
