Thematic Jewelry Trivia Questions

1. What would you be most likely to find in the Fisherman's Ring?

From Quiz
Lord Of The Rings

Answer: The Pope's Finger

The Fisherman's Ring is a signet ring which was used by popes to seal official documents, though since the mid 19th century has been used purely as a decorative symbol of the popes official regalia. The ring depicts the first Pope, Saint Peter, in a fishing boat and a new ring is made for each pope, with their papal name surrounding the design. Upon a pope's death or abdication, the ring used to be destroyed with hammers to prevent "lost" fake documents being circulated but nowadays, the design only is ruined with chisels and the ring itself remains intact.

2. "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" is a 1665 portrait of a young lady wearing bling in the way of a single pearl earring and a turban. This famous painting was created by which Dutch artist?

From Quiz Famous Bling

Answer: Johannes Vermeer

Vermeer is the correct painter. It is said that the subject was Vermeer's daughter. Whether or not, the contrast of the subject's eyes and single pearl seems to be the focus of this painting. The other foils are famous painters of the Dutch Golden Age. Please enjoy their lovely works.

3. What is the name of an Alfred Hitchcock movie from 1969 that has a name of a jewel in its title?

From Quiz Baubles, Bangles and Beads

"Topaz" was based on Leon Uris' best selling novel. It starred John Forsythe and Frederick Stafford as Intelligence Agents who are trying to discern the Russian involvement in the placing of missiles in Cuba.

4. The planet Saturn has an elaborate ring system surrounding it. What are these rings mostly made from?

From Quiz Shoulda Put a Ring On It

Answer: Ice

The rings are made from more than 99% pure water ice but also have small traces of dust and chemical particles. The rings were first seen through the telescope of Galileo Galilei in 1610, although it was not until 1655 that astronomer Christiaan Huygens suggested that they were rings.

5. In which beautiful European capital would you find a stately, tree-lined boulevard named "The Ring" that encircles the city's historic centre?

From Quiz With This Ring

Answer: Vienna

Like Paris' famous "grands boulevards", Vienna's Ringstrasse ("Ring Road") was built in the 19th century to replace the 13th-century city walls, as well as the Glacis, a wide green space that separated the historic centre ("Innere Stadt") from the suburbs. After the events of the 1848 revolution, a number of those suburbs were incorporated into the municipality, and the walls became an impediment to the free movement of traffic. In 1857, Emperor Franz Joseph ordered the demolition of the walls, which were replaced by a wide boulevard lined with imposing public buildings that bore witness to the power and glory of the Habsburg dynasty; the construction of the road was completed in 1913. Among the many notable buildings along the Ringstrasse there are the famed Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper), the Austrian Parliament Building, the Town Hall (Rathaus), the Palace of Justice, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Many of these landmarks were built in an eclectic style, combining architectural elements from various eras, often referred to as "Ringstrassenstil". Many parks and other green spaces can also be found along the road, which is still an important thoroughfare; a tram line travels around the Ring, allowing visitors to take in many of the city's sights.

6. Who originally recorded the song "Ring of Fire"?

From Quiz Lord Of The Rings

Answer: Anita Carter

"Ring of Fire" was co-written by June Carter, later to become June Carter Cash when she married Johnny and was originally recorded by her sister Anita on her 1963 album "Folk Songs Old and New" as "(Love's) Ring Of Fire". Cash allegedly heard the track and told Anita that if she had no success with it after a few months, he would record it as he interpreted the song. This he did, adding mariachi horns and scored a top 20 hit on the Billboard charts as well as creating a song association that would remain even after his death.

7. What was the "gem" song that Glenn Campbell recorded in 1975?

From Quiz Baubles, Bangles and Beads

Answer: Rhinestone Cowboy

"Rhinestone Cowboy" was the name of both the song and the album that reached the top ten for Glenn Campbell. It was written by Larry Weiss. Other artists, including Neil Diamond, also recorded it, but none had the success that Campbell had.

8. Upon their engagement in 1981, Prince Charles gave Diana Spencer an engagement ring that contained diamonds and which other gemstone?

From Quiz Shoulda Put a Ring On It

Answer: Sapphire

The ring was 18 carats with an oval sapphire in the centre and 14 smaller diamonds around the outside. The ring was made by Garrard Jewelers and, as it was part of their catalogue, copies of the ring were available to be purchased by anyone.

9. In which country would you find Formula One venue, the Red Bull Ring?

From Quiz Lord Of The Rings

Answer: Austria

Located at Spielberg, Austria, the Red Bull Ring is the third incarnation of this circuit which was built in 1969 to replace the Zeltweg circuit. Red Bull Ring was originally called Osterreichring and hosted F1 Grand Prix from 1970 to 1987, when increasing safety concerns forced the track to be removed from the calendar. By 1996 the track had been completely rebuilt, much shorter than the original and without the dangerous sweeping bends, renamed the A1 ring as most of the investment in the track rebuild came from cell phone company A1. This incarnation hosted the F1 event from 1997 to 2003, when it became unusable through lack of investment and fell into disrepair before being bought by the founder of Red Bull, Dietrich Mateschitz. After a 70m reconstruction, the track was renamed Red Bull Ring and reopened in 2011, hosting its first F1 Grand Prix in 2014.

10. The Hope Diamond is a beautiful jewel currently housed in the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. From its initial documented sale in India in 1666, this stone has traveled from France to London, been stolen and recut. What is its color?

From Quiz Famous Bling

Answer: Blue

The Hope Diamond was originally a stone found in India by a French merchant, cut and then sold to Louis XIV. In 1791 it was stolen (did no one safeguard their jewels in this era?) It was cut (again) and ended up in the London auction of gems from the Hope family in 1839. Through various owners, it was sold to Harry Winston (the New York gem merchant) in 1949. He subsequently donated it to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History where it resides today. (I saw this lovely necklace 40 years ago and it still amazes me!) By the way, red diamonds are the rarest and most valuable. For Valentines Day, if you really love her...

11. There is a popular prayer tradition which Catholics use to petition the Blessed Virgin Mary. This involves saying a series of prayers using the fingers on items that are held together by a chain. What are these items called?

From Quiz Baubles, Bangles and Beads

Answer: Rosary Beads

There are many different stories about the origin of the rosary. Most theologians believe that the rosary was given to St. Dominic by the Blessed Virgin Mary in an apparition sometime around 1214. It is also believed that the devotion of the rosary was an imitation by the laity of the monks' practice of praying 150 psalms daily.

12. Which actress played the lead role of Rachel Keller in the 2002 movie "The Ring"?

From Quiz Shoulda Put a Ring On It

Answer: Naomi Watts

"The Ring" was a 2002 psychological horror film that involved people watching a video and dying seven days later. Rachel Keller was a mother and journalist who was desperate to find a way to stop the imminent deaths after she discovered her son watched the film. The success of the film led to a sequel entitled "The Ring Two" (2005) in which Naomi Watts again played the role of Rachel Keller.

13. What of kind of creature is the rinkhals, or ringhals ("ring-neck"), endemic to South Africa and a few neighbouring countries?

From Quiz With This Ring

Answer: snake

The rinkhals (Haemachatus haemachatus) is a venomous snake of the family Elapidae. Named after the light-coloured bands around its throat, it looks very much like a cobra, and like the latter has a habit of rearing upwards and spreading its hood; however, it has been placed in a separate genus because of some significant differences, such as the shape of its scales and a somewhat stouter body. As emphasized by another of its common names, ring-necked spitting cobra, this smallish (about 1 m/3.2 ft on average), generally dark-coloured snake spits venom as its primary means of defense from humans and other large creatures. If the venom enters the eyes, it causes burning pain and temporary (or even permanent) blindness. Like all elapids, the rinkhals possesses a mainly neurotoxic venom, which is potentially fatal, though not as powerful as that of other African true cobras.

14. In which 2002 Gore Verbinski directed movie did Naomi Watts play a journalist?

From Quiz Lord Of The Rings

Answer: The Ring

"The Ring" (2002) is a classic example of a "remake based upon a" movie that Hollywood does so well. It is a remake of the classic Japanese horror movie "Ring" (1998) which was based upon the novel "Ring" by Koji Suzuki. The Hollywood remake was so successful it lead to remakes of many other classic Asian horrors such as "The Grudge" (2004) a remake of "Ju-on: The Grudge" (2002) and "The Uninvited" (2009) which was a remake of "A Tale of Two Sisters" (2003).

15. The Timur Ruby is part of the British crown jewels. This 361 carat (approx.) item was given to Queen Victoria by the East India Company in 1851. What is interesting about this jewel?

From Quiz Famous Bling

Answer: It is not a ruby

The Timur Ruby is actually a ruby spinel. Spinels are minerals that resemble rubies and are often found next to them in gem gravels (excavations.) They are sometimes called "the mother of rubies." However, they are not as hard and weigh less than true rubies. The other answers were inventions.

16. "Ring Ring" was an album released by which band in 1973?

From Quiz Shoulda Put a Ring On It

Answer: ABBA

"Ring Ring" was ABBA's debut album and included the single "Ring Ring". It was only released in a limited number of countries in 1973, including Australia, Mexico and South Africa. The album was not released in the U.K until 1992 and the U.S.A in 1995.

17. Which video game character first started collecting gold rings in 1991?

From Quiz Lord Of The Rings

Answer: Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic first appeared as a game for the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in USA) and has been collecting those gold rings with the help of buddies such as yellow fox, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna and his girlfriend Amy Rose ever since. Sonic games are now available for a variety of systems, such as Wii, PlayStation, Microsoft Windows and Xbox, but he still hasn't managed to defeat Dr. Robotnik once and for all.

18. During the holiday season, many advertisements tout the romance of the "Chocolate Diamond." Trademarked by LeVian, they are diamonds "chosen for their rarity and chocolate flavor." Which is a correct statement about these stones?

From Quiz Famous Bling

Answer: These common brown stones are used for industrial purposes

Please do not be taken in by the advertisements for "Chocolate Diamonds." They are the most common and base stones that are usually used for industrial purposes. In the 1980s, the Argyle mines in Western Australia began producing tons of the stones. What should they do? Sell them as costly jewels, of course.

19. On the maternity floor in hospitals, it is very important to make sure the baby is properly identified so that no mix up can occur. Other than a footprint, what external means of identifying the baby is commonly used?

From Quiz Baubles, Bangles and Beads

Answer: bracelet

It has been a long standing tradition in hospitals to place an ID bracelet on the arm of a newborn baby in the delivery room. This bracelet is a way to make sure that once the mother and baby are separated they will still be able to reunite the mother with her own baby.

20. In Canada and the US, which trained professionals may wear a ring made of iron or stainless steel?

From Quiz With This Ring

Answer: engineers

The Canadian Iron Ring and the ceremony (known as the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer) in which it is presented to engineering graduates originated from an idea of H.E.T. Haultain, a professor of mining engineering at the University of Toronto. In 1922, he contacted Nobel Prize laureate Rudyard Kipling, who wrote the text of the ritual emphasizing the responsibilities of an engineer and the need for professional unity. The first ceremony was held in Montreal on 25 April 1925. A small, unassuming object, the Iron Ring is worn on the little finger of the dominant hand; it is not meant to be an ornament, but a symbol of an engineer's commitment to the profession. Founded in 1970, the US Order of the Engineer adopted a similar practice. During the ceremonies conducted at a number of US colleges, a stainless steel ring - often smooth, rather than faceted like its Canadian counterpart - is given to participants after they have taken an oath known as the "Obligation of the Engineer". Iron and steel symbolize the strength of the engineering profession.

21. Who composed "Der Ring des Nibelungen" commonly referred to as "The Ring Cycle"?

From Quiz Lord Of The Rings

Answer: Richard Wagner

"The Ring Cycle" took Wagner almost 30 years to complete and is made up of four parts; Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold), Die Walkure (The Valkyrie), Siegfried and Gotterdammerung (Twilight of the Gods). It is normally performed as one piece over four nights, although individual sections have occasionally been performed as stand alone pieces. When performed together, as Wagner intended, the four pieces take almost 16 hours to complete.

24. This 1954 movie was Paul Newman's screen debut, although he did not consider it to be a good performance, and later apologized for his role in it. The title of the movie is in keeping with our theme. Do you remember it?

25. Which well-known song by The Beatles contained the lyrics "Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied"?

26. One of the few surviving pieces of jewelry owned by Queen Elizabeth I, the Chequers Ring has a hinged bezel that contains what distinctive feature?

From Quiz With This Ring

Answer: two portraits

Though Elizabeth I was well known for her love of jewelry - amply displayed in her numerous portraits - very few of the pieces owned by the monarch have survived. The Chequers Ring, named after the country house of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, where it has been housed since the early 20th century, is believed by many experts to have been crafted in the mid-1570s. Made of a hoop of mother-of-pearl (a symbol of virginity) overlaid with sheet gold set with table-cut rubies, it bears the queen's monogram, "ER" (Elizabeth Regina) on the bezel (the wider, thicker part of the ring): the "E" is made of large diamonds, while the "R" is made of cobalt blue enamel. When opened, the hinged bezel reveals two miniature portraits: one of them, a cameo-like profile portrait, is unmistakably Elizabeth, while the identity of the second woman is still debated. As she is dressed in the fashion of the 1530s, she has often been identified with Anne Boleyn, the Queen's mother, though others believe she might be instead Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's sixth and final wife, to whom Elizabeth who was very close. The back of the bezel is decorated with a crowned phoenix, one of the queen's favourite emblems.

27. At the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, host Russell Brand made fun of which band for wearing purity rings?

From Quiz Lord Of The Rings

Answer: Jonas Brothers

Purity rings are worn to show a promise to God and the wearer to remain a virgin until marriage, and were hugely popular in the 1990s. Other celebrity wearers apart from the Jonas Brothers included Miley Cyrus who at age 16 described herself as "the girl that no one can get" but by age 20 she had ditched the ring and was calling sex "a beautiful and magical thing" and Selena Gomez who started wearing a purity ring aged 13, but stopped wearing it when she started dating Justin Bieber aged 18. Thanks to Huff Post for the Miley quotes.

28. On her 16th birthday, my husband and I presented our daughter with our Southern (USA) family's traditional gift for a young lady of her age. What would this be?

From Quiz Famous Bling

Answer: A string of pearls

My daughter received a string of pearls on her birthday as did I and other daughters in our Southern family through the generations. A Hope Chest is a lovely concept in which a young lady would store various items for her eventual move to her new (married) home. It might contain a hand embroidered wedding handkerchief. As much as she hoped, little one did not receive that new car for her birthday (sad face.)

29. The story of the Ring of Gyges - a magic ring that renders its wearer invisible - is narrated in "The Republic", written by which major Greek philosopher?

From Quiz With This Ring

Answer: Plato

"The Republic" is Plato's best-known work, a Socratic dialogue centred upon the concept of justice. In Book 2, Glaucon, one of Socrates' young companions, tells the story of Gyges and his magic ring. Originally a shepherd in the service of the King of Lydia, during a storm Gyges found shelter in a cave, where he saw the corpse of a giant with a golden ring on his finger. He took the ring, which he soon realized made its wearer invisible, and with its help usurped the kingdom by seducing the queen and killing the rightful king. The tale's purpose is to spark a discussion on whether anyone would resist the temptation of doing injustice if they could do so without fear of detection. Though the story of Gyges' rise to power through seduction and murder, told by Herodotus and other ancient historians, is held to be based on historical fact, the magic ring is not mentioned anywhere else. While Plato's tale is undoubtedly reminiscent of Tolkien's One Ring, there is no evidence that the English author was in any way influenced by the story of the Ring of Gyges.

30. The scientific name for dating tree rings to determine the age of a tree is what?

From Quiz Lord Of The Rings

Answer: Dendrochronology

In his "Treatise on Painting" (1651), Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first people to mention the importance of annual tree rings, but it wasn't until the late 19th century that dendrochronology was popularized by Jacob Kuechler studying Texan oak trees. The practice is hugely beneficial to art historians who use it to date panel paintings which were a forerunner to canvas art. As for the other possible answers, melissopalynology is a study of honey and pollen, pogonology is a study of beards and "morbi celeritate" is Latin for speed dating.
