Marvel Debuts Gem-Set Infinity Gauntlet
East Continental Gems provided more than 150 carats of gemstones for the project.
This real-life Infinity Gauntlet, inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is set with a ruby, a yellow diamond, a sapphire, an amethyst, an emerald, and a spessartite.
San Diego—Marvel fans, rejoice! There’s now a real-life version of the Infinity Gauntlet.
Marvel teamed up with New York-based East Continental Gems to debut the “Infinity Collection of Gemstones,” showing them off by setting the stones into a gauntlet (armored glove) toymaker Gentle Giant created.
Los Angeles-based designer Darren Romanelli, also known as DRx, served as creative director for the collection.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Infinity Gauntlet is a gem-encrusted metal glove that imbues the wearer with incredible powers.
Made famous by the Avengers franchise, the glove was worn by Thanos to wreak havoc.
To harness its power, all six Infinity Stones have to be collected—time, space, reality, mind, power and soul. Too potent to be held in one’s hand, the stones are set into the Infinity Gauntlet.
“There has never been anything as exciting and interesting in the Marvel Universe than the prized Infinity Stones and as a fourth-generation jeweler and fan, I am honored that Marvel entrusted us with the monumental task of curating the Infinity Gem Collection for our universe,” said Adam Mirzoeff, president of East Continental Gems.
