Vienna museum smash-and-grab steals 200-carat necklace linked to Egyptian royalty

Austrian police are hunting two men who smashed a display case at Vienna’s MAK museum and stole a 200-carat platinum necklace encrusted with 673 diamonds that had been loaned from a Van Cleef & Arpels exhibition and once belonged to Queen Nazli of Egypt; the heist occurred during opening hours with no injuries reported, and the necklace—dating to 1939 and previously sold for $4.3 million at Sotheby’s—is part of a broader surge in violent European art thefts.

Customs Seize Woman's Giraffe Feces Necklace at Minnesota Airport

Customs Seize Woman's Giraffe Feces Necklace at Minnesota Airport

U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized a box of giraffe feces from a woman returning from Kenya who intended to make a necklace with the dung, similar to her previous creations with moose feces. The agency destroyed the smuggled feces, sparking questions about the government's suppression of alternative art. The woman's vision for the necklace included a brown-and-white shell, possibly from a giant African land snail. The process of turning feces into jewelry involves dehydration and a "dip station with secret ingredients." However, hope remains as a moose has been spotted in Iowa, potentially providing the artist with a new source of material.

"Border authorities intercept woman smuggling giraffe feces for unusual jewelry project"

U.S. Customs and Border Protection confiscated and destroyed a box of giraffe feces that a woman had brought back from Kenya with the intention of making necklaces. The woman had declared the feces but will not face charges as she readily abandoned it. Bringing animal feces into the U.S. requires a permit, and there is a risk of disease transmission. CBP agriculture specialists ensure the prevention of non-native pests, diseases, and contaminants entering the country.
