I love this book too! The Shattered World by Michael Reaves. Without a doubt.

A thousand years ago, the world was broken in a great cataclysm; now people live on the fragments, flying between them in ships made of the skin & bone of dragons. The book follows the interweaving stories of a thief, a couple of wizards, and various others as events are set in motion that will take them on perilous journeys to the far reaches of the world with far-reaching consequences.

Matching details from my memory:

• Floating land masses in breathable space
• Werebear/lycanthrope/shape changer thief protagonist
• Sexy deadly woman wizard antagonist
• Botched jewel heist

But honestly, you must not have gotten too deep into the book because the best parts you don't mention, nor will I because of spoilers. The jewel heist is just the beginning of events that entangle the thief in a global plot.

And it was 1985, not the 70s!
