Lord of the Rings
The Only Green Jeweler in the U.S.
During the 2007 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, Bruce Magnotti's solid gold and platinum cocktails rings were worn by everyone from Elizabeth Shatner, to Shaun Toub, as well as Tanya Tucker during the shooting of the first segment of her reality show, Tuckerville.
Fox News declared him, "The only green jeweler in the world" for his dedication to recycling both the precious metals and the gemstones in his popular cocktail rings. The bands are recycled and refinished wedding bands, some from over a century ago. The gems are from estate sources throughout the world or from certified "zero conflict" areas of the world. As gold mining is one of the most polluting industries, and there is so much bloodshed surrounding precious gemstone mining and production, Magnotti works to recycle as many components as possible.
Bruce has worked as a jewelry wardrobe designer for numerous television shows and participated in fashion events for the MTV Music Video Awards in 2003, the Billboard Awards in 2004, the Al Green Tribute in 2005, and many others including the Emmy's in 2007. The images above are from that event.
