Howdy,
It stands to reason valuable jewelry would not be overlooked. But maybe you can tell all of us why Jason would steal his own jewelry? Whoops, maybe I can answer my own question: maybe Michelle willed the jewelry to her sister or mother?

i don't thinking jay was stealing his "own" jewelry, he was stealing his wife's jewelry. maybe he, like, you thought that everything in that house belonged to him and he was going to take it.
michelle might have discovered a piece missing and then started frantically searching through the drawers of the jewelry box in jay's closet to find it or see if other pieces were missing.
she might have discovered that he was pawning her jewelry to pay off gambling debts or to buy gifts for his various paramours.
michelle might have ransaked jay's closet herself, looking for evidence of his affairs after she discovered something incriminating on the computer (including the Coach bag for Michelle Money).
she might have been in the middle of ripping all of his clothes out of the closet to throw him and them out to the curb.
she might have felt a pain in her womb because of the stress and needed to lie down.
if the fight started downstairs, she might have run to jay's closet to find a gun that was kept there to use to defend herself.
was there a gun cabinet in jay's closet? or the gun might have been in a box on a shelf somewhere inside of the closet.
michelle could have been looking for love letters written to MM, digital cameras or something to provide evidence of an affair.
one sign of a cheating spouse is new underwear. michelle could have been looking to see if jay had bought new underwear or had a stash of condoms or sex toys in this closet.
imo
