CHARLES DE TEMPLE: 'ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD' RING, CIRCA 1965
The bicoloured openwork ring in polished and textured finish, forming the words 'All the time in the world' to both the interior and exterior, unsigned, size I, maker's pouch
Footnotes:
Provenance:
The present owner's father, who was a close friend of Charles de Temple, purchased the ring from him in the 1960s.
It is believed to be the prototype of the famous wedding ring given by James Bond (George Lazenby) to Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo or 'Tracy' (Diana Rigg) on the occasion of their wedding in the 1969 film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'.
The phrase 'All the Time in the World' was the title of the film's theme song by Louis Armstrong, as well as being the final words of the film; 007's first and only wife is assassinated shortly after their nuptials and Bond recounts the phrase to her as she lies lifeless in his arms. The song also featured as closing credits after 007 was killed at the end of the 2021 film 'No Time to Die'.
Following the release of the film, Charles de Temple garnered a great deal of success and by popular demand, a limited edition of 50 rings were produced instead reading 'All the Love in the World'.
