Highland Park, Texas—Authorities are looking for three suspects in connection with the burglary of Ylang 23 in Highland Park, Texas.
Highland Park police officers responded to a burglary alarm on Jan. 23 just after midnight, according to a statement from the Highland Park Police Department.
The arriving officers saw clear signs of forced entry, including shattered glass and glass on the walkway from the door. Several display cases had been damaged.
The three suspects were masked and gloved when they entered the store, said detectives.
Around $500,000 worth of merchandise and equipment were taken from the store, according to a local report.
Ylang 23 shared news of the incident as well as images on its social media channels.
“First and foremost, we are grateful that everyone is safe. We are devastated over the damage to our beautiful store and the amount of jewelry that was taken,” said the jeweler.
“Ylang 23 is a family business, and our family and an incredible group of employees have put our heart and soul into this company for the last 40-plus years. It goes without saying that this senseless act is incredibly violating.”

The jeweler thanked its followers for their support, adding that the family and team behind the retailer are “incredibly resilient.”
The Texas jeweler was founded in 1985 by Joanne and Charles Teichman, and they were joined by their daughter Alysa Teichman in 2016.
Ylang 23’s Highland Park location opened in August 2024 after the jeweler relocated its flagship for this larger space at The Shops of Highland Park, an upscale shopping center in Dallas.
In an update posted to Instagram on Friday, Alysa said “It’s obviously been a really hard week, and I don’t know how we could have gotten through it without all of you.”
The store is open in a limited capacity, she said, as Ylang 23 waits for the glass damage to be repaired.
