Although the above link is no longer working, I thought I would add a snippet of information regarding Charles De Temple. He was the designer and maker of the 18ct bicolour wedding-ring that was used for the marriage of James Bond (George Lazenby) and the Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo, aka Tracy Draco (Diana Rigg) in the 1969 film 'On Her Majesty’s Secret Service', the only time 007 gets married. The ring incorporates the words 'All the Time in the World' around the inner and outer sides. The wording links to the film's theme song and the final words uttered by Bond to his dying wife.

Following the success of the film, Charles de Temple made a limited edition of fifty rings also bearing the words 'All the Love in the World'

James Bond's wedding ring was not Charles de Temple's only connection with Ian Fleming's fictional British Secret Service agent, he also designed and created the famous 'Goldfinger' for the 1964 film of the same name.
