The Original Design

In 1999, Jens Hansen was commissioned by the production team of The Lord of the Rings to create the One Ring. After numerous prototypes and meticulous craftsmanship, the final design became one of cinema's most iconic props.

"The One Ring needed to be simple yet perfect, beautiful yet terrifying. Creating it was a challenge worthy of the story itself."

The Journey

The One Ring's path from sketch to screen required 15 different prototypes, each meticulously crafted in our Nelson workshop before the final design was selected for filming.

The Impact

With team months of constant work, the creation became one of cinema's most recognizable symbols—a testament to how artisan craftsmanship can transcend to global iconography.

The Legacy

Every official replica has been crafted with the same dedication, passion and craftsmanship, ensuring each ring carries the same authenticity and soul as those worn in Peter Jackson's epic trilogy.

He was capable of understanding without needing to put his own stamp on it. I think he was a singular artist, New Zealand was very privileged that he came here.

The Original Design

In the 1960’s Jens designed his own personal Maker’s Mark; a version of the Chi-Rho, which was long used as a symbol of good luck because it was similar to the pagan word for gold. All Jens’ pieces carry this mark including the Legacy Collection designs, which are authentically hand-forged from his original production notes

Your story deserves to be worn. Beyond our signature collections lies the art of the possible—where your vision meets our generations of craftsmanship. Each bespoke piece begins with a conversation, evolves through hand-sketched designs, and culminates in a creation as unique as its wearer. From engagement rings that spark lifelong commitments to family heirlooms that carry stories through generations, our workshop transforms precious materials into personal landmarks.
