Jewellery and sentimental items including a distinctive brooch were stolen from a house.
The burglary happened at a house in Staplecross near Hastings on August 2.
The brooch features two deer behind a glass case with a metal frame.
Two engraved silver candlestick holders, a Rotary wrist watch, a gold heart pendant and several strands of pearls of varying lengths were also taken, and it is possible they could have been sold or exchanged together.
