Los Angeles police have agreed to return the $1.4 million worth of jewelry that pop star Rihanna was wearing the night her R&B singer boyfriend Chris Brown is accused of assaulting her.

The earring and three rings that Rihanna was wearing were on loan to the singer, who had attended a pre-Grammy party with Brown hours before the February 8 incident. They were taken by police as evidence in the case. The designers asked for the jewelry to be returned, but a lawyer told a Los Angeles judge that police must first photograph them before handing them back.

Brown is charged with attacking Rihanna in their rented car on their way home from the party. He is free on bail pending a possible trial where he could be given probation or up to five years prison if convicted.
