Police say the suspect walked into the Erica Weiner store on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn Heights just before 3 p.m. and threatened two female employees with a hammer, one of whom is pregnant.
He then forced the workers to the back of the store and looted the place, putting jewelry into a bag.
It's not yet clear how much he made off with.
The thief was dressed in all black, and fled the scene.
