“It is my great pleasure to present to you all a project that a fellow AJB member (AuFingerfan) and I worked on for a couple of years.
It is as perfect as we could get to duplicating the necklace and earrings worn by Domino in the casino scene from ‘Thunderball.”
Thanks to screen captures, photos of the actual prop previously sold at auction and fantastic reference photos given me by yet another AJB member, this is the final result.
A few jewelers were contacted to see if they would consider tackling the project. Some of the earlier designs sent to us had flaws which we corrected until we felt it was as accurate as it could get.
This is a one of a kind replica due to the complexity of the fabrication.
We hope you enjoy the final result.

What stones did you use and what is it made of ?

Thanks! The stones are CZ, and the metal is silver with a rhodium coating.
Thanks! It is very impressive in-person, if I do say so myself.
Kan- I believe all the stones are CZ and the metal is silver with a rhodium coating.
Thanks. Although I did the legwork getting the pieces fabricated, it would have been impossible to get it to be accurate without Ed's valuable assistance and critical eye!
LOL, for my wife if we can ever again find a special social occasion to go to! Thanks, Covid. Yes, the pieces were relatively expensive due in part to the time spent adjusting the design to be as accurate as we could be, plus the necklace is very intricate and all of the fabrication was by hand. But I do feel the resulting pieces were worth it.
Thank you for sharing -{
I love it!! {[]

Thank you!
It took a lot of attention to the details, and I have to give Ed the credit for that!
