I was wondering if anyone here has tried their hand at the Salvatore rings from the Vampire Diaies TV series (the one that allows the brothers to daywalk)
I checked with Museum Replicas for more information since they have the show listed among their movie/TV credits but it was unfortunately for a different prop, so I'm not aware of the source that made the originals.
Here's a few pics of both Damon and Stefan's rings.

Having recently moved to the BC coast, I was able to check out a lot of closely sized oval Lapis Lazuli stones from Mineral World and was surprised when I read the rich history and uses of this stone, dating back to ancient Egyptian times (from it's connections to Ra the Sun God to how it was used for jewellery and crushed into powder for cosmetics).
So far, I have a Celtic white gold band that is almost a dead ringer for the one seen in the above pics (although it may have to be slightly resized to fit a middle finger rather than the traditional ring finger), as well as some deep blue lapis stones, but further episodes have shown that the stone is quite a bit larger and more convex than I originally estimated. As for adding the stone's setting and the Salvatore family crest, I plan on inquiring with some local jewellers in Victoria as what this would entail.
Please share your ideas and any pics/screencaps you may have. Like the jewellery from Underworld and POTC, I think this would make for a great display prop.
