The burglary happened between 5pm and 7.15pm on Tuesday 13th January.
The victim, a man in his seventies, returned to his house to find thieves had forced their way inside and taken a number of items of sentimental and financial value.
Among the stolen items is a distinctive wide-band wedding ring with an engraved geometric design.
Police have released an image of the ring in the hope someone will recognise it.
Also taken were an engagement ring, cufflinks, shirt studs, a tie pin and several gold chains.
Officers have carried out a number of enquiries and the investigation is ongoing.
They are particularly keen to hear from pawn shops, jewellers and second-hand dealers who may have been offered the wedding ring or any of the other jewellery for sale.
Anyone with information which could help the investigation is asked to call 101 and quote reference 5226011363.
