The Fabergé egg locket, valued at NZ$33,585 ($19,300; £14,600), was recovered in a "natural" manner. "Medical intervention [was] not required," they told the BBC.
This comes about a week after police arrested the 32-year-old man at Partridge Jewellers in central Auckland, minutes after he allegedly ate the locket.
The ingested loot is set with 60 white diamonds and 15 blue sapphires, according to the jeweller's website, and opens to reveal an 18-carat gold miniature octopus.
The man has been charged with theft.
