Pair steal $12K diamond from Maplewood jeweler using bogus credit card

A couple shopping for an engagement ring in Maplewood bought a stone worth $12,000 with a bogus credit card and split from the jewelry store before the merchant realized what had happened, police said Monday.

The pair and the diamond have yet to be located since the two walked out more than five weeks ago with the 1.2- carat loose stone from Jared on White Bear Lake Avenue, just south of Interstate 694.
