Barry Bartel, 36, of Quincy is being charged with larceny over $250, Newton Police said in a statement.
Bartel was arrested without incident this morning at about 9:30 a.m. by Quincy detectives. He is to be arraigned today in Newton District Court.
Lieutenant Bruce Apotheker, a police spokesman, said he didn't know whether the ring had been recovered.
Police have alleged that a surveillance camera recorded video of Bartel fleeing a Shreve, Crump & Low store at the The Mall at Chestnut Hill on Sunday, holding the ring.

Why don't these people think they are going to get away w/ robbing a high end jewlery store?!?! Do they think they don't have surveillance cameras?
Stupid, stupid, stupid!!! Your not a professional robber like the characters in Ocean's 11. Think before you do something your going to get caught for and spend time in jail.
ya but they don't have the ring.... so it's all a game.
the person who has the ring will take care of him later when he is out of jail.
