Paris settles over missing bracelet

Socialite Paris Hilton has settled a legal dispute with a jewellery company, Kwiat Inc, after losing a $159,500 (€131,800) bracelet they lent her for last year’s Oscars.

Hilton claimed the bracelet was faulty and kept falling off her wrist so she put it in a glove compartment of a friend’s car. Someone broke into the car, she said, and stole the bracelet. Kwiat filed a lawsuit against her but they’ve now settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
