Jennifer Lopez: Jewel Thief?

Jennifer Lopez reportedly walked away from a fashion launch last week with $50,000 worth of borrowed jewellery.

The pop star - whose most controversial jewellery moment to date was the absence of her wedding ring at the Golden Globes in January - decided to keep an expensive piece of jewellery on loan from Swiss jeweller, Robert Mouawad.

According to sources, the singer assumed that the jewellery was for keeps as a 'thank you' for attending Andrea Lieberman's fashion launch party last week.

An insider told Page Six, "We received a call from [J.Lo's manager] Benny Medina, informing us that Jennifer was going to keep the jewellery. 

"As far as Mr. Mouawad is concerned, Jennifer can have whatever she wants, but a premature demand seemed presumptuous."

Mr Mouawad isn't going to press charges against Jennifer because, according to a jewellery insider, "Mr. Mouawad will lose no sleep over $50,000, and frankly, Jennifer's endorsement is priceless."

Jennifer's rep told Entertainmentwise, "This is not true and the jeweller said it wasn't true."
