The dazzling array of diamonds and precious jewels is among a cache worth £90 million stolen at gunpoint from a display in Cannes. An affiliate of Lloyds of London has today released the images as it has announced it will offer a 1 million euro ($1.3 million) reward for information leading to the diamond collection. 

The jewels - belonging to the Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev - were on show at the same Cannes hotel featured in Alfred Hitchcock's 'To Catch a Thief' when a single gunman walked into the ground floor show, threatened the handful of unarmed guards, and then disappeared down a side street with the loot, on July 28. 
They include a huge heart-shaped diamond pendant totalling 23.14 carats and handcrafted in platinum, two diamond-encrusted rings and an Art Deco style emerald and diamond necklace totalling 127.26 carats, hand crafted in platinum and 18 karat gold.

The robber is said to have tipped the diamonds and other precious stone into a briefcase during the raid in broad daylight at the Carlton in Cannes, said to be a favourite haunt of Hollywood’s biggest film stars; and made off on foot through the exclusive Promenade de la Croisette.

The raid, on July 28, ranks among the largest jewel heists in history.
