Authorities say she admitted to stealing the jewelry.

Police in Arizona say a jewelry-store employee took $250,000 worth of items from the business.

KNXV-TV reports that Emma Pchakjian, who worked for Diamondcraft in Scottsdale, has been arrested.

A weekly arrest report from the Scottsdale Police Department lists her charges as first-degree trafficking in stolen property and “theft-unauthorized service/property-embezzle.”

Authorities say Pchakjian, 35, has admitted in a statement to stealing the jewelry. It disappeared from the store’s inventory over a four-month period.

Most of the jewelry has not been found, though some of it was located at pawn shops, according to KNXV.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
