The sets and costumes in The King And I 'looked' even better than 'the real thing' a century before......King Vajiravudh - King Rama VI....the 'model' for Brynner's character in the Movie, was fond of giving Jewelry as a token of his admiration....... Nadia Yerusalimsky, the Russian dancer, was a recipient of some of the 'Royal Jewelry tokens'..... I think, if my memory serves me properly, Bernie was consigned the ring, along with some 'set pieces' and 'props' from 20th Century Fox & MGM......I still have some of the Art Deco 'pieces' from an old Fred Astaire movie......also, from Bernie....purchased, via his Auctions at The R.L. Hope School, during the mid 1970's....
