The man was perusing jewels in an opened glass showcase at the Kristin Hanson store, located at 60 Reade St., about 1 p.m. on April 16 when he grabbed the pricey ring, police said. He then quickly slipped it into his back left pocket, video surveillance showed, police said.

The investigation into the crime was ongoing, the NYPD said.
