NOBLE COLLECTION RING OF BARAHIR HOW TO

The Gold version has far less metal underneath and the Sapphire is a dissapointing black stone with no life at all. The gold-plated version is built more like the original, and the blue crystal is a good compromise.

I would point out to any person thinking of getting one of the Noble versions of the ring - Go for the Gold-plated Silver version, that is the one they use on their website, even to advertise the Gold/Sapphire version (Trading standards violation methinks). Where the black line is on the original I had it plated with yellow gold, but this didn't work so instead I had it filled with grains of yellow gold which gives a deeper gold colour and great sparkles. I have also had them make a white gold version set with a 2ct Citrine.

As a handmade ring by the original designer (Thorkild Hansen) there is something about the design of the ring that feels organic, and looks perfect, something that I felt missing from the Noble ring.īut then my ring cost somewhere over £1100 including import taxes and VAT, so the fact that the Noble ring is anything like the original is remarkable.Ī version with 9ct Gold and a lab' grown sapphire would be A LOT cheaper, but I felt the first replica had to be 'Right'. It is set with a 2ct+ Ceylon Blue Sapphire which is stunning in the sunlight.Īn acid treatment has been used to produce the black central line.Īs the first replica of the film ring I have to say it is a source of constant pleasure. It is a slimmer ring than the Noble version, but of substantial weight as it is made from solid 18K Gold, as opposed to the 'hollowed out' Noble ring.
