Have you received any offer letter while joining to the Jewelry Shop, if you have then find what is the terms and conditions says if valuables are lost through your negligence and what is your liability for that. If it says it is your liability then you are responsible for that. Otherwise tell your employer to check the same in CC Tv and lodge a police complaint mean time it can be also seen in CC Tv whether you are delivering your duty diligently or not.
