Topic: Domino's Necklace & Earrings

“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.
---Ed & AuFingerfan

Re: Domino's Necklace & Earrings

Wow! Excellent work! Those can't be real diamonds and emeralds though. If they are, how much did that set you back and are the earrings and necklace for anyone in particular?

Thanks!  The stones are CZ, and the metal is silver with a rhodium coating.

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.

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

Re: Domino's Necklace & Earrings

Today, Christmas Eve day, I got a fantastic surprise by a dear friend. Although only one was to be ever made. He, apparently, convinced the jeweler to make one more of this amazing replica that he sent me as a Christmas gift.
He was able to turn around a bad year into a good one at the end.
Thank you SO much, john. This will truly be a "Jewel" in my collection (pun intended)  --Ed
