LOST was a show chronicling the tales of the survivors of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 plane crash on a mysterious island filled with black smoke monsters, Others, secret research projects and polar bears, amongst other incredible things.

By season five the cast of the show were split up and traveling through time, with some people, including James 'Sawyer' Ford (played by Josh Holloway) landing in the 1970's when the 'Dharma Initiative' were conducting their scientific experiments on the island.

The character was a retired school teacher, turned best-selling author of mystery novels and an amateur sleuth. Her adventures took place mainly in Jessica's hometown of 'Cabot Cove' or New York, but book tours and visits to friends and relatives took the amateur detective all over the world solving mysteries.

I'm not a Murder, She Wrote expert but there was an episode in season 11 (11.11, 230) named 'An Egg to die for', where Jessica helps a Russian policeman capture the mastermind behind the theft of a Faberge egg. Maybe this jeweled prop was from that episode.

The artistic director believes Nina is the perfect choice to play the innocent and graceful 'White Swan', but doesn't know whether the ballet dancer has the intensity and sensuality to play the role of the darker 'Black Swan'.
