Designed by fanatical Nazi, master goldsmith Karl Berthold, ADOLPH HITLER’S gaudy bling-ring was auction last year at the Alexander Historical Auctions House in Maryland. The reserve was £70,000.
On the ring is a huge swastika that is supported by other swastikas and swords. The piece is crowned by a large ruby and mounted in a silver globe which rests on an elaborate foot, also with a swastika. The ring was found at Berchtesgaden, Hitler’s mountain retreat in Bavaria, in 1945 by American troops. The ring, such an ugly monstrosity, I bet Uncle Adolph only wore it when he went out clubbing!
Present day! With the rise of Fascism, I wonder whether Hitler’s bling-ring will be replicated and sold on the QVC shopping channel, and perhaps alongside a pair of matching EVA BRAUN earrings and a belly ring too?
