C L A U D E Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 How about here? Dun't get me wrong, i'm thrilled you pointed it out and brought us the pictures, like Annaleigh, i had never noticed that before, but who on earth would wear that gaudy dress with that humongous jewellery, terrible combo, again. Lucy herself looks terrifc though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Just watchef Jack Benny's bio. Never would have matched it up. It looked so much better in B&W, and with an open neckline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, you don't wear something as flashy and huge as that with a gaudy looking dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I posted this in the Lucie-Desi photo thread, but it could be useful for this discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I’ve solved the mystery of the original weddings rings. Last night I got the Lucy/Desi CD-Rom from the late 90’s up and running again on my computer. That took time to figure out all the settings I needed to revert my computer back to 1998. So I came across a picture that was taken I believe sometime after Lucy/Desi got married and were on their way back to CA. The photo is of a newsman admiring Lucy’s wedding ring and Desi sitting beside her. The caption mentions something to the effect “Mr… admires Lucille’s dime store ring as well as her actual ring bought later.” So this solves the mystery that sometime after the hurried wedding and before they got back to CA, Lucy and Desi probably went ring shopping for their real wedding rings. I’m thinking they were probably bought in NYC before they left on the Super Chief to head west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 In his book he mentions giving her a platinum ring for their second wedding. Platinum looks silver, color photos show the ring she wore most was gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivfantoo* Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I like Lucy's big, blingy rings, especially the large blue one with the diamonds around it (that is on the Here's Lucy #6 cover). Luvsbway, thanks for mentioning Viv's wedding ring. I've watched for it since & it is really classy looking. The blue band (sapphire?) looks so nice against the silver color.

Luvsbway Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I wanted to bring up another piece of jewelry fascination I have been noticing lately across the decades with Lucy. She always wore a watch. Very pretty watches too. I have noticed this in movies, TV, photo shoots. The Here’s Lucy episode Lucy the Conclusion Jumper (or something like that) from Season 1, the watch Lucy wears has a face large enough that you are able to see the time on it. When watching this episode once I made an effort to keep an eye on her watch through-out the whole episode. You can literally tell how long it takes to film the show by looking at the time on her watch. There is a scene in the office that I believe clocks in at somewhere between 15-20 mins. The whole show I believe comes in under an hour. Very fascinating as you can see how long it was between each scene as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Very good quality DVD'S and a 45" HDTV. And I sit really close. LOL! Yesterday, i went to a friend's house for a viewing of one of my all time favorite films, TITANIC, but in 3 D, it was awesome all right, at least a 50 inch set and surround sound and all that but what impressed me the most, watching the film, the characters' clothes were so infinitely detailed. I can now see what you and Joey have been talking about, he's right about Blu Ray and YOU're right about the detail work in their clothes, i had seen Frances Fisher and Kate Winslet ten times at least, but never with detail like this, not only do you see the buttons on their clothes, but you see the button holes, the richness of color, the creases, bands, various accoutrements on the clothes themselves and the jewellery, again, in so much detail you think you're looking through one of those diamond merchants eye things.

C L A U D E Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I know i should just reread this thread to get my answer but due to lack of time lemme ask you Shel, what's that huge diamond ring Lucy is wearing in Europe??? I'm just noticing that huge ring now after watching the show for over sixty years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 To be possitive I need to watch it, but my best guess based on the time frame, is it's a copy made to look like the original aquamarine one. I start noticing it around the Hollywood episodes. The original according to Lucy's book was stolen, so if you see it on the show it's a copy.

Yeah, i knew i had seen or noticed it earlier, so it was the Hollywood eps as you say. What's the story on the ring, Desi gave it to her, it's a huge diamond? But it isn't her wedding ring per se, as that was a simple platinum band covering the Woolworth`s cheap one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Here's what I have been able to piece together. The woolsworth ring was temporary and before they headed east bought real wedding rings. The aquamarine ring (that big looking one) first shows up in 41. Lucy wears it in Look Who's Laughing and then tons more places in the 40s. In her book she called it her engagment ring. Both their books mention wedding rings in relation to the 49 wedding but I can't put a full story together. The end of the marriage/ Wildcat Desi ring story is also such a poienent story.

I always heard he had the cheap WOOLWORTH wedding ring which was all they could find on the wedding day, was later covered in platinum as she would never give it up. Seeing as he could not do anything with that one, he gave her a huge diamond and they called it an engagement ring i guess. Yes, Desi losing HIS wedding ring in the surf in Hawaii and then having it found by that couple who took it to her while she was doing Wildcat was indeed a great story, thank God for the inscription which told them whose it was.

Luvsbway Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'm gathering some pics for 3 rings I was going to talk about in relation to Gary and ended up coming across a fourth. Here is a link to the following ring being sold at auction in 2010 for $32,200 with partial proceeds going to the museum. http://www.christies...90-details.aspx A CABOCHON STAR SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING Set with a cabochon star sapphire within a two-tiered marquise-cut diamond surround, mounted in platinum, (ring hoop detachable) Here are pics of Lucy wearing it. It looks to photograph darker and seems more oval like, but I'm pretty sure this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought my mom a similar looking but not as valuable one of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annaleigh Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Funny thing was that I was gathering photos of the 'Gary rings' the last couple of days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annaleigh Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 So I've come to the conclusion that her first wedding/engagement ring is the gold diamond cluster ring with what looks like a pearl on the top. Kind of looks like a flower. It's the earliest ring I can find with Gary. Also it is worn on her and Gary's wedding day and found mostly on her left hand. Here's a close up, but worn on the pinky, which is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annaleigh Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Henry just posted a new Lucy video on his art blog of Lucy on Johnny Carson in November '69 I believe. Lucy shows Johnny a ring she just recently received from Gary as an anniversary gift. It looks like the one in the above photos Shelly posted, but this doesn't make sense with the dates of these photos. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
