The value of jewels stolen in a dramatic theft in the French Riviera resort of Cannes has been raised to about 103m euros ($136m; £89m).
The figure was given by a French prosecutor. It would make the Carlton Hotel raid one of the biggest gem robberies in Europe this century.
An armed man seized the gems from an exhibition of diamonds by the jeweller Leviev on Sunday morning.
Earlier the stolen gems had been given an estimated worth of 40m euros.
It is the largest in a series of high-profile robberies in Cannes.
Assistant prosecutor Philippe Vique, quoted by the Associated Press news agency, said the Dubai-based organiser of the diamond show had raised the value after doing a more detailed inventory check.
French police are looking for a lone suspect who broke in through French doors at the hotel and who later fled on foot.
One line of inquiry is likely to focus on the Pink Panther network, a gang that has carried out gem raids in other countries. One of its members - a Bosnian - escaped from a Swiss prison on Thursday, with help from accomplices.
The Carlton is located on the Croisette promenade, one of the most prestigious locations in the town.
Alfred Hitchcock used the hotel for his 1955 film To Catch A Thief, which portrayed a jewel thief operating in the French Riviera.
