Nancy Chemtob, a Manhattan matrimonial lawyer, explains what she has seen happen with jewelry disputes during divorce proceedings. “Horses, wine and jewelry — they always seem to disappear,” said Chemtob. “One client has a wine collection and the divorcing spouse has a party and the wine is all gone. The horse always dies. The jewelry gets sold, even though I wonder if he or she actually sold it. We never really know.”
