Lost 'The One Ring' Big Chain Photo Recovered

The team at Jens Hansen Gold & Silversmith is proud to bring you this pic of the Big Chain as it was being created in our studio. 

Used for those scenes where the One Ring and Chain needed to be shot closeup, the Big Chain was made in sterling silver and scaled in proportion to the massive 6 inch diameter gold plated steel One Ring also created in our workshop.

Second Jens Hansen One Ring Prototype Goes under Hammer

You may remember back in April 2003 seeing us posting a news item about the auction by Sotheby's of one of the unique prototype rings that my father Jens Hansen had created during the One Ring design process. 

That ring actually sold for US$5750- and my brother & I have been persuaded to release one more of prototypes to auction.

Why Auction the Prototypes

Why Auction the Prototypes?

Our late father, esteemed Danish born and New Zealand based jeweller, Jens Hansen, designed and made the One Ring gold ring used in the filming of the current Lord of the Rings film trilogy. 

Although the movie makers ordered some forty One Ring's of various sizes from us for the different scenes in the movie, my brother and I were left by our father seven original silver ring design prototypes, and the two original Gold Plated Sterling Silver rings one of which was ultimately selected as the final design for the One Ring from which all subsequent One Rings we made for the movies were replicated.
