Like all of Troy Stratos' promotional ideas, it sounded good. Just as famous celebrities have lines of clothing and perfume, Stratos proposed to put together a line of jewelry patterned after the personal jewelry of celebrity ex-wives to be called, appropriately enough, "COLLECTION X."

According to his pitch, Stratos represented this as a presentation of, "the priceless beauty of celebrated superstar women and the unparalleled elegance of their timeless jewelry--COLLECTION X, the perfect melding of design and prestige," further describing the pieces as a, "collection of fine diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies . . . one-of-a-kind pieces melded with the legacies of the star-crossed lovers who inspired them."

In wooing the women he sought to exploit, he defined them as, “Exceptional,” “elusive,” “admired,” . . . a rare sorority of women . . . the ultimate in refinement and determination, having survived the peril of high-powered divorce and unpredictable fame to emerge as role models of class. Each is distinguished by her own sense of style, yet all share a common passion for life, love and fashion. From Dame Elizabeth Taylor to Barbra Streisand, Julia Roberts to Raquel Welch, Jennifer Aniston to Angelina Jolie, all inspire an incomparable illusion, designed and coordinated . . . to reawaken romance, desire and sophistication."

He claimed that, "While it is certain that the Collection will ever-evolve, one thing will never change -- dedication to presenting the finest stones in the finest settings offered through the most exceptional stores in the world."

At this point, celebrity jewelry, valued at something in excess of three million dollars ($3,000,000), has disappeared; the best information available to us at this time is that he may have pawned it for $300,000.

Stratos is not cooperating.
