Mike Shorer Jewellery has created bespoke and historically accurate jewellery for productions including:

Selected Film & Television Titles

• The Crown (Netflix)
• Gladiator
• Gladiator II
• House of the Dragon
• The Mummy
• The Bastard Executioner

And for production companies such as Netflix, BBC, Sky Cinema, Sky, Fox, Universal and Starz. These projects range from large-scale historical epics to intimate, character-driven commissions, each requiring discretion, speed, and absolute attention to detail.

Jewellery created for screen must do more than look beautiful. It must withstand close-up filming, work seamlessly with costume and character, and feel entirely believable within its historical or narrative context.

Mike’s experience allows him to balance scholarly research with the practical demands of production schedules, continuity, and durability. His jewellery is designed to be worn, handled, and filmed, often under intense time pressure, without compromising on authenticity or craftsmanship.

One of Mike’s most notable recent commissions was the creation of the engagement ring worn by Princess Diana in The Crown (Series 6), made for actress Elizabeth Debicki.

The ring plays a pivotal role in the episode and required absolute historical accuracy, emotional sensitivity, and rapid turnaround — a challenge Mike is particularly well known for meeting.

“As is often the case with jewellery I supply to films, time was very short before the cameras started rolling — but I always pull out all the stops to make it happen.

I later discovered that I wasn’t the first choice to make the ring, as a hugely famous London jeweller had turned the commission down. I had no issue with that at all. In fact, I was told that, based on the standard of my previous work, I had the blessing of a very important gentleman in Paris — which was a tremendous compliment.

The ring appears 23 minutes and 23 seconds into Episode 3 of Series 6. I was beside myself with excitement. To know it was made for the divine Elizabeth Debicki, playing Diana, was an incredible buzz.”

Many film and television commissions draw on Mike’s internationally recognised expertise in historic jewellery reproduction. Having spent decades creating exact replicas from the British Museum Collection, Mike brings museum-level research and craftsmanship to screen projects.

Original artefacts, archaeological references, and historical texts inform every piece, resulting in jewellery that is visually indistinguishable from genuine historical originals.

Alongside film and television work, Mike undertakes a small number of special projects each year, including:

• Museum replicas and exhibition pieces
• Ceremonial and presentation objects
• Symbolic or narrative-driven jewellery
• One-off commissions for institutions and private collectors

Each project is treated as a collaboration, combining research, original design, and meticulous hand craftsmanship.

All film, television, and special project work is produced in Mike’s East Sussex studio, ensuring absolute control over quality, confidentiality, and deadlines.

Mike Shorer Jewellery is trusted by production teams worldwide for its discretion, reliability, and ability to deliver exceptional work — even under the most demanding conditions.
