Special Project For The Crown
15 months ago I was approached by Netflix to make ‘a ring for the lead actress in an upcoming series’…. which turned out to be the engagement ring that Dodi wanted to present to Diana. Cripes!! As is often the case with jewellery I supply to films, time is very short before the cameras start filming, but I always pull all the stops out to make it happen.
En route through the project I heard that I wasn’t first choice to make it, because a hugely famous London jeweller turned it down, but I haven’t got a problem with that I even heard that because of the standard of previous commissions, I had the blessing of a very important gentleman in Paris, which was a great compliment. It starts its story after 23 mins, 23 seconds of Episode 3 of The Crown 6. I was beside myself with excitement, and to know it was for the divine Elizabeth Debicki, playing Diana, was an incredible buzz.
I am continuing to run my father’s business which he created in 1969. I am now the seventh generation to be involved in the Goldsmithing trade.
