Celebrity jeweler Chris Aire has reported the theft of jewelry valued
at approximately €1 million from a luxury rental property in
Villefranche-sur-Mer, on France’s Côte d’Azur. French authorities have
confirmed that an investigation is underway.
According to
information provided to police, the jewelry was discovered missing from
inside the rented residence and according to the complaint, €6,000 in
cash was also taken. The reported loss involves multiple high-value
pieces rather than a single item. At the time of reporting, there were
no public indications of forced entry, and investigators have not
released details regarding the property’s security measures.
Aire, known for designing and supplying custom jewelry to
high-profile clients in the music and entertainment industries, was
staying in the area during the period in question. It has not been
publicly confirmed whether the jewelry was being stored for personal,
commercial, or client-related purposes.
Local authorities are
treating the case as a major theft and are examining standard lines of
inquiry, including access to the property, staff or service personnel
activity, and any available surveillance footage. As is typical in
ongoing investigations, police have declined to comment further.
Villefranche-sur-Mer
is a popular destination for luxury rentals and high-net-worth
visitors, particularly during the spring and summer seasons. While petty
theft is uncommon, the area has previously seen investigations
involving high-value property due to the concentration of wealth and
luxury goods.
No arrests have been announced, and the value of the
stolen items has not yet been independently verified by authorities.
The investigation remains ongoing.
