    It will likely far exceed the listed price.

    The 1998 sale ring was stolen and is lost forever.

    Thanks, I have been reading this :D

    I am in particular interested what the story behind this particular shot is:

    It looks very different to your ring and the ring which has been sold in 1998.

    It does look different . . . but the ones that were made more recently are still exceptional, beautiful! I compliment the designer.

    The 1998 buyers were victims of a home robbery. They took gold and silver jewelry from a drawer. Not knowing what they stole, the robbers likely pawned it or a fence melted it down. So sad! Gone forever.

    I still can't believe that Sir Robert :( . I thought Sothebys may have overvalued it initially especially when you take into account that it was not screen used. As a copy I'm not sure I would even class it as production made. It will be interesting to see if it ever gets exhibited in the near future under the production company's banner as I approached them when I was first made aware of its availability on the auction block! -{

    On a personal note, it went for 5 times my absentee bid so it's not like losing it to one more bidder in the room on the day! ....Parp! :(

    I wonder if the high bidder wants to buy a matching Asprey set? I think £100K should about do it! :D
