Franklin I may be able to help 
The hilt could be made as you have one of the many ways although I would say it would probley be ivory and the blade would be double edged .Upto now I have only seen a ring pommel with a single edge,it may also be fullered.
The scabbard could be made a few ways but looking at it it will be a full metal plate maybe silver or gilt with holes cut through and the jewels inserted before fitting to wood core or the jewels are mounted then applied to the face plate this is how I am doing mine. I hope to have the entire scabbard covered then I will gilt it.I have copied the statue for the basic scabbard but not the hilt .I hope this is some help.
Regards Brennivs
