"They said the pendant was recovered Thursday night after it exited the suspect's gastrointestinal tract naturally without medical intervention. The limited-edition, Faberg Faberg egg pendant was inspired by the 1983 James Bond film "Octopussy," in which a jewel-smuggling operation involves a fake Faberg egg. A less glamorous photo supplied by New Zealand's police Friday showed a gloved hand holding the recovered pendant and its long, gold chain with an intact price tag showing the jewelry's 33,000 New Zealand dollar ($19,000) value."
"The store's website says the egg, one of only 50 made, was crafted from gold, painted with green enamel and encrusted with 183 diamonds and two sapphires. The pendant is 8.4 centimeters (3.3 inches) tall and is mounted on a stand. "The egg opens to reveal an 18ct yellow gold octopus nestled inside, adorned with white diamond suckers and black diamond eyes," an item description said. "The octopus surprise pays homage to the eponymous antagonist at the center of the 'Octopussy' film.""
New Zealand Police recovered a James Bond-inspired Faberg e pendant after monitoring a suspect for six days. The pendant exited the suspect's gastrointestinal tract naturally and was recovered without medical intervention. Police arrested a 32-year-old man at Partridge Jewelers on Nov. 28; he appeared in court Nov. 29 and did not enter a plea. Officers maintained round-the-clock watch while the man remained in custody and will hold him until his next Auckland District Court appearance. The pendant carries a price tag of 33,000 NZD and features gold, green enamel, 183 diamonds, two sapphires and an 18ct gold octopus inside.
