Favourite Jewellery

[Lady of the Rings]

Yay! :hooray: I'm the first person to post here in this new section!

lol Anyway ,just wondering what your favourite jewellery is in LOTR and why?

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Heh... well done for being the first supporter of this new section! lol
I chose Nenya... I thought it looked really elegant and not too 'showy' too... you wouldn't have noticed it at first glance... it seems to have a mystical air about it. Hmm... maybe it's just me, but anyway, that's what I think. lol
And it really looks elegant on Lady Galadriel. And I love rings!

[Lady of the Rings]

lol Thankyou lol

I chose Arwen's Evenstar. I've always thought it was really pretty :grin:
I love rings too! But I've never really had a good look at Nenya because you only see it for a few minutes in the film.

[Hobbit]

From the choises I choose the elven brooche: it was really pretty.
But I think the most beautiful piece of Jewelry is the ring Aragorn wears: The Ring of Barahir. There are only a few scénes where you can really see it but it's really well crafted.

[Brego]

I chose The one ring just simply cos its so iconic, to say it represents all the evil in the world, hatred and malice the film makers have made the ring with so much care, dedication and love. Its a beautiful thing and a delight to see on screen :grin:

[legolastheawesome]

the elven brooch, because..it's so pretty.... :) and everyone in the Fellowship wears it :thumbs:

[Lessa]

I prefer Arwen's Evenstar although I liked all the jewellary in the film. This is the one I would like to own the most.

Lessa

[Luvara]

I wanted to choose Aragorn's ring of Barahir, but since it wasn't possible, I choosed Arwen's evenstar... :(

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

lol You can start a thread and yak about it to your heart's content. lol
I'm still sticking with Nenya. lol

[Frodo's Love]

It was quite hard to decide, but finally I chose for Nenya. It's a wonderful piece of jewellery... I also love the Elven Brooch :grin:

[Elf angel]

Arwen's Evenstar. I love it so much that i beg my Dad for one! Quite expensive and it is my 'precious'.

[Bonos-Girl]

i want one...but i swear the ones they sell are bigger than the ones in the film...they're two inches long the ones they sell....if they were smaller i would have wanted one for the ball last saturday. but as it happened i found a necklace that matched my shoes perfectly...weird!

anyways...i voted for..erm..i can't remember now..it was either the brooch or the evenstar...

[Celebrían]

I voted for Nenya. It was very beautiful indeed, although the elven brooches come in a very close second. :thumbs:

[Lasgalen]

Why is it that my choices never seem to be on the polls? :huh:
I choose Aragorn's ring. If you ever get to see it close up, it is a really neat ring.

[Bonos-Girl]

yep, i would have chosen it as well...but it isn't in the poll so i chose something else!

[Celebrían]

I liked his ring as well. It's very....uh....can I say "manly"? :grin: It's a very cool ring. :thumbs:

[A! Elbereth]

I loved the Elven Brooches! :grin: I must draw those Lorien leaves everyday while I'm bored in classes! lol I find them special, for each member of the Fellowship owned one... for some period of time ;)

[Lady Ashley]

The elf-brooch!! I want one of those!! I always loved it, from before the movie I think! I've taken to making 'reproductions' out of foil, paper and shoe-box----in my own design that I first imagined them as in the book. It's such a lovely thing, and I love the cloaks. *wishes she have one* (But who wouldn't? lol)

All the other jewelry is lovely. The 'Evenstar' I'm not especially keen on though b/c technically it was never named that and Ary never got it. But it's creative nonetheless. Galadriel's Nenya and crown were lovely. The One Ring...uh...nope. lol

[Tar-Ancalimë]

I like the ring of Barahir best for sure... but out of the options I say the one ring.... the prop in the movie is so one ring-ish lol, anyway I think they did a great job with it... plus it's just plain cool :grin:

[Luvara]

yeah, i like the one ring too!

[Kenzie]

whats neyna??? lol ... yhea i would have voted barair if they had it too..

[Luvara]

one of the rings!

[Kenzie]

wich one lol ... theres quite a few lol

woops never mind i just anwsered my own question lol its galadriels right??

in that case it gets my vote!!! lol

[A! Elbereth]

I would say The One Ring is my second favorite. If only I could have one that actually showed letters when scrutinized under flame. :grin:

[Kenzie]

yhea that would be really cool... but second i would say the elven brooch... it was somewhat close to how i imagined it

[Celebrían]

I hadn't thought about that. That would be really cool. I would love to have it in that case.....minus the evil power. :grin:

[Kenzie]

that'd be frightneig if power was included lol

[Luvara]

well, but pretty cool too! :naughty: ;) lol

[Frodo's Love]

You think so, Luv? :o :naughty:

[Luvara]

in fact, no, but... :naughty:

[Kenzie]

imagine if they started selling magic rings *shudders* the world would be a scary place (if it's not already lol)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

lol
Hmm... so far the replicas of the One Ring I've seen are far from good. They're kind of... a plastic ring, and when you press the button, it glows... gotta be the stupidest thing I ever saw.

Well, Nenya is still my fave piece of jewellery. Firstly, it's elvish lol. Secondly, it's really beautifully crafted... looks really light too, gives me the impression that I wouldn't feel it on my finger. And thirdly, it's really feminine. Makes anyone's fingers look nice lol

[Celebrían]

I like Nenya for all of the reasons you stated, Win. :thumbs:

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Hmm... actually Galadriel's Tiara is very elegant too. I wonder why it hasn't gotten any votes. :huh:

[Bonos-Girl]

those rings are quite nice, its just the box that looks weird and tacky. just don't suck on teh ring as Pil did...the coating kinda comes off and it turns pink-ish.....

you can get some really nice solid gold replicas as well with either red, black or just engraves writing on them. they're really expensive though...mecry...why aren't i rich?

[Altáriel]

I love tiara's so i vote for that, but i prefer the one Eowyn is wearing when she says "they were unarmed, they have no warning"

Here is Eowyn's tiara:
http://www.moviecostumes.com/Lordof/Eowyn/Eowyn_brownblue_greengold.jpg
cool,isn't it?

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Unfortunately, the pic doesn't show up! :(

--sidenote: I merge your threads cuz double-posting within the 15mins time limit isn't encouraged in the forums ;)

[Kenzie]

does anyone have a pic of Galadariels tira??

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Here ya go:
http://www.warofthering.net/pp321/data/3012/56galadrielCrown.jpg
Another creation of Jasmine Watson's.
Lovely, isn't it? Especially when it's on the elf lady herself... gorgeous!
It's my 2nd fave jewellery.

[Kenzie]

yhea that is really pretty!! i'd say that'd be my second fav too..

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

errr... did you say pil sucked on the ring??? :o

[Altáriel]

Let's see if now works,Eowyn's tiara:
http://maidenfair.net/miranda/tttmmt5.jpg
I like how they've done her hair also:thumbs:

[Kenzie]

yhea i like her tiara too ...

thats kinda disturbing lol ... pil sucking on her ring???

[Elvenwanderer]

ummm.... staying out of the whole Pil/ring thing...

I chose Galadriel's Tiara.... it's so pretty, and I am more partial to head adornments (ears!!) than to rings cause of my huge fingers... :)

[Luvara]

yes, Galadriel's tiara is very beautiful! I like that one better than Eowyn's... ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

y'know when you're wearing a necklace with something on and you just kinda suck it.....

[Kenzie]

i guess i could see that lol lol

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Eowyn does look good with her tiara, it complements her hair very well. I think she looks very elegant with that hairdo, but it makes her look mature and older though.

[Beleriel]

I voted for the Elven brooch... mostly because I have just had one and it is gorgeous! I love it!

After that would be the One Ring... I have a silver version of that which NEVER leaves my finger! haha.. :blush:

[Kenzie]

yhea i really like the brooch too

win~ yhea she does apear older... but that could be a good thing ( i guess??? lol)

[Undomiel]

I've gone for Nenya on this. I just thought it was really, really pretty:grin:

[Celebrían]

I think I like Galadriel's tiara better......

edit: my overall fav remains Nenya. :thumbs:

[Luvara]

aww... I want an Elven brooch too! :thumbs:

[Kenzie]

i would really like to get nenya... (but even more barahir!! )

[Elfdaughter]

I love Nenya. And, by pure chance, I have a) a necklace that looks like Nenya, and b) a ring that looks like Narya!

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

a necklace that looks like Nenya?? Meaning? The pendant looks like Nenya? or the chain has a 'touch' of Nenya?

[Elfdaughter]

The pendant looks like Nenya.

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

ooh... it must look very pretty then. I love Nenya.

[Elfdaughter]

Yeah, it's gorgeous.


The pendant I've got is a silver flower/star with diamonds (not real ones, obviously!) set into the centre and each petal. I may be able to take a piccie of it tonight....

[Lasgalen]

Cool. If you take a pic, can you post a link? I would like to see it.

[Lessa]

Me too.

Lessa

[Elfdaughter]

Can do!

[Kenzie]

oOoOo i want to see!!!

[Elfdaughter]

Well, it took me long enough!

http://elvenring.bravepages.com/index.htm

I'm sorry, the piccie of the necklace came out wierd!

[Kenzie]

hhmmm it's not working for me ... it may just be my comp thoughis it somthing like this (http://www.noblecollection.com/catalog/product.cfm?id=NN2148&catid=17)???

[Elfdaughter]

Strange. Works OK for me.

[Elfdaughter]

Similar....it's more like the inner bit, but more of a petal shape.

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

All right, as I've said in the other thread, just email the pic to me and I'll settle it for you ;)

My fave jewellery is still Nenya! :thumbs:

[Bonos-Girl]

doesn't work for me either....

[Elfdaughter]

Well, I've emailed Win!

[Kenzie]

ooo than we shall see it soon!!!

[Hobbit]

I hope to see it soon....
I'm quite curious about your pics ED....
Fave jewelry so far: Vilya

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Soon... patience dears lol As soon as I get her email, I'll post 'em up!
Heh... back to the topic... Mine's Nenya, and I've stated my reasons in many posts already ;)

[Kenzie]

i also really liked the elven brooch ... it was done beautifully!!

[Luvara]

[Kenzie]

[Lady Rowena]

Well, I must admit I do like Galadriels tiara, but what I liked most of all was the brooches Galadriel gave the fellowship to put on their cloakes.

I kliked it so much because it was a small detail mentioned in the book that Peter Jackson put in the movie

[The Silmarillion]

RE: Favourite Jewellery

a really difficult question

decision between the one ring and the evenstar

I decided for the evenstar

[Luvara]

yes, the evenstar is beautiful! I really like it...

[Arwen of Imladris]

I agree with both The Silmarillion and Luvara about the evenstar hard question and beautiful so I chose the Evenstar:)

[Melian]

My favorite LotR jewelry is the Elven Brooch, which I got for Christmas. I wear it all the time. Strange, only one person has recognized it. I guess I am so LotR obsessed, I expect everyone to know what it is.lol

[Arwen of Imladris]

your so luck i'm not getting it (the Elven Brooch and the Evenstar Pendant) till this christmas! :hmppf:

[Evenstar]

My most favourite jewellry is Vilya but out of the list options I chose the Evenstar necklace (my namesake on WotR!)

I own the one ring but it was a really cheap version that, instead of turning you invisible, turns your finger green! I want Vilya and arwen's necklace as well but i haven't got em. mecry

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

LOL turns your finger green? Must have been those plastic ones that I always see around lol

[The Silmarillion]

One Question:


Who has already a jewellery of LotR.
Originally I wanted to buy
the pipe.
That's really great.

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

The pipe... I think there's a link in the 'places to buy stuff' thread in this forum which shows where you can get accessories like the pipe.

[The Silmarillion]

But especially
the pipe costs very much
well ... for lotr
it's worth buying it

[Elfdaughter]

Hmm..I wish I had the money to but LOTR stuff...they are all so expensive!

[The Silmarillion]

What would you buy then??

The Evenstar??

[Melian]

I got a really nice catalog in the mail a few weeks ago----The Lord of the Rings Collector's Store. It's great (although rather pricey). It has everything from jewelry to swords to various collectables. It even has Gandalf's staff. I think I will keep it around just to look at it, even if I don't order anything. Maybe I will leave it in a conspicuous place around Christmas time. It's from the Noble Collection, but I don't see a web address on it

[Evenstar]

I know you can get the one ring from H Samuel, but I think thats a really expensive shop (for people like me with no money). I got mine for £11.99 at Argos, but it was really tacky - as well as my finger going green, the chain made my neck dirty and the ring wore away easily.

[Bonos-Girl]

thats the one i got..the one from argos. how much was the one in H samuel?

[Elfdaughter]

Yeah, that's the problem with cheap ones.

[Lasgalen]

I would rather pay more for a good one so that it will last and look just as good next year as it did brand new. Only prob is getting enough money for the good ones. That is why I don't have any ME jewellry yet. But I am hoping for Aragorn's ring for my B-day.

[Elfdaughter]

Yeah, I'm hoping for the One Ring for mine. (my 18th birthday's in a week! Yay! I'll be legal! And that didn't sound weird at all! lol )

[The Silmarillion]

Oh cool
my 18. birthday is the 07.04.03
also soon
yeah

ring I am coming

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

*ahem* hee... enough discussion for birthday wishes...
Back to topic! My fave jewellery is Nenya.

[Ice Dragoness]

Nenya and the Evenstar for me!

It isnt in the movie but I adore this necklace, very pretty :)

http://shop.newline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=12430;category_id=2489;pcid 1=2472;pcid2=

wrong link, oops

http://shop.newline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=12430;category_id=2489;pcid 1=2472;pcid2=

[Lasgalen]

Which do you mean? The watch or the ring

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

I don't see any necklace. :huh:

(Ice Dragoness, I've merged your posts. In future, you can use the 'edit' button to edit your post if it is within the 15min time limit)

[Hobbit]

Maybe she meant this necklace:

http://shop.newline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=12430;category_id=2489;pcid 1=2472;pcid2=

I didn't saw this one in the movie, but I like it anyway. It's very beautiful and sophisticated. Hopefully this was the one you meant Ice Dragoness: it was the only none movie necklece (at least I think it is) I could find.

edit: the page seems to return to the mainpage automaticly. To find the necklace, you must go to "Lord of the Rings" at "the shop by film" icon, click the jewelry button at categories and there you'll see "elven necklace"

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Oooh! You meant this?
http://www.warofthering.net/pp321/data/3012/56elf_necklace.jpg
I had in the photoforums all the while! lol It's a lovely thing, isn't it? It's fashioned according to the design of the elven brooch, and I think it'd be a beautiful necklace to have. :thumbs: Besides, it looks modern and would go well with casual outfits too.

[Beleriel]

ooooh! That is beautiful...... I would love to own that. :thumbs:

[Bonos-Girl]

me too...although i';d rather have the brooch....

[Lasgalen]

[Lessa]

That's a beautiful necklace and not many people seem to wear brooches nowadays.

Lessa

[Altáriel]

very,very beautiful!!!!:o
all elvish jewelry in the movie has some modernist style on it,don't you think?

[Lasgalen]

I usually hear it described as Art Deco looking.

[Bonos-Girl]

its more art nouveu (not that i can spell....lol). very natural shapes....

[Lasgalen]

Maybe that is what they said :blush: I am not good with those art terms.

[Bonos-Girl]

art deco is more geometric type shapes i think.....art noveu (however its spelt..) is natural shapes like leaves and trees

[RavenWingsofDarkness]

I like that necklace....I really do....
I picked the one ring.
Hee Hee!

Raven

[Vixen]

Aragorn's Barahir, it is rare to find a man to wear a ring let alone to battle (sigh)
But I voted for Evenstar

[Ereinion]

I LOVE Galadriel's ring, whatever it's named...It's perfect!

[Lessa]

I love all the jewellery it is not flashy in your face stuff but elegant and very classic. It compliments everyone who wears some. Like all the costumes and props you don't realise it's there at first but it adds to the depth.

Lessa

[Lasgalen]

Originally posted by Ereinion

[The Silmarillion]

I wanted to bye the Sword Anduril (is namely no jewellery...)
but the costs are too high.
$ 239 + $ 120 package and so on ...

[KaraC]

I ordered the Evenstar last year. It's beautiful! I love it. You don't have to be a girl to buy it either (Though I am). I believe so anyhow because Aragorn wears it more in the film than her anyhow. Arwen that is.

[Sarié]

Definitely Galariel's Tiara, though Nenya is a close second!

[Lessa]

Yes I like the tiara it's deceptively simple. I still prefer Nenya though.

Lessa

[Lasgalen]

I still like Aragorn's ring. But I am wondering... after RotK comes out, will people be voting on new stuff they saw in RotK. I can't say til after I see the movie, but I suspect I will be sticking to Aragorn's ring as my fav.

[RavenWingsofDarkness]

Aragorns ring againts Galadriels ring
oh gosh there so enchanting...... I would love to own them both.
I like Galadriels ring a little more because it's sooo nicely
desingned.... but Aragorn's ring is so awesome *can't decide*
Leave me to deside....*talking to herself*

Raven

[Arwen, Elven Princes]

Does anyone out there have the Evenstar? Were you satified and happy with it?

[Lasgalen]

I don't have one. But I have heard from those that do have it that the little jewel is prone to falling out. They are happy with the way it looks, but upset about the workmanship.

[Arwen, Elven Princes]

Are you telling me that it's cheap?

[Lasgalen]

I am only saying that several people have complained about their jewel falling out of the evenstar. Maybe you could check around some websites and see if this is a widespread problem or not.

[Elfdaughter]

That's a good idea. Of course, i think, like anything, it depends where you get them from.

[Arwen, Elven Princes]

Say it's coming from Noble Collection. And I tried to look up on the net if it had any problem, all I got were web sites with the name Evenstar that were experiencing issues.

[Elfdaughter]

Hmm. Try using the 'advanced search' and type into the 'exact phrase' box 'evenstar necklace' then type in 'problems' in the normal search box. That should narrow it down.

[Arwen, Elven Princes]

Still nothing...

[Elfdaughter]

Hmm...I'll see if I can find anything for you.

[Feebeefi]

I voted for The One Ring.I think it's absolutly gorgeuos!Especially when it has the Feiry Elvish writing.I've seen 9carat gold rings in HSamuel.But it cost £250:o :elfeek: :o The Silver costs £99.99.It has the elven inscriptionon it.I asked for one for christmas.;)

[Big Ranger]

(double posted to the Noble Collection thread, for maximum coverage, sorry for any repeat redundancy ;Q)
Has anyone purchased a Ring of Barahir from Noble/New Line shopping?
I'm really wanting one, but I was concerned about the quality/durability...I'd kind of llike to wear it all the time, but I wonder if it can withstand daily wear, like will the little stone pop out, etc...one would assume, given the price, that it would be pretty sturdy, but I'd hate to find out the hard way...anyone?

[Arwen, Elven Princes]

Does any one recommend Arwen's Butterfly Brooch, that she wears with the Requiem cloak? Is it good quality?

[Lidless Eye]

I chose Galadriels Tiara its so pretty I wish I could make one. But Arwens Evanstar is so pretty also. I think her butterfly pin is also pretty.

[Calmacil]

I chose Arwen's Evenstar, it's so pretty. I like the brooch also.

The one ring, I found a metal one on a bookmark, cut it off, and am using that as a pendant. Don't have enough money to buy the expensive, real silver/gold ones.

[Lidless Eye]

Hey thats what did also it looks pretty good. :thumbs:

[Mithril]

I wanted the Elven brooch almost from the first time I saw FOTR, and I was bought it for Xmas 2002, I love it, and wear it almost every time I go out.
I had a little windfall I wasn't expecting a few weeks ago, and bought myself the Ring in silver,( I don't wear yellow gold and the white gold was very expensive!), a Sting necklace and Sting sword.:)

[Cosmic Aurora]

Wow Mithril!! That's so cool! Hope they made Sting glow blue when there's orcs around..! ;) But then if it did I'd be a bit worried! I just have a cheap replica of the Ring! But I'd really want the evenstar! My friend has this necklace that looks so much like it..but unfortunately it's not! hmm I'll consider buying it...once i get out and get a job! =/
lol Calcamil! That's where I got my ring from as well!!

[Lidless Eye]

I have a really cheap version of th Ring also. I also bought the Evenstar for 60 bucks thinking it would be nice then when I got it it was small and cheap. :( mecry

[Mithril]

They did have the Evenstar when I bought my ring, but it wasn't very nice, didn't look the same as in the film at all. I bought the necklace and the sword from here- www.uniquities.co.uk -its worth checking if you live in the U.K, they have lots of goodies!

[Lidless Eye]

Do you know the place where the bad Evenstar was sold? Do you have a link?

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Oh yes..this is muy importante...please, the first one of you guys who buy something that turns out to be a disappointment ....make a new thread to post the link in so others can avoid experiencing the same....call it bad shops or summat easily reckognizable. In which case other unfortunate shoppers...and lets hope there are not many...can share their experiences too!:)

But don't post it in here tho...this is a poll remember!

[Lidless Eye]

The problem is that I didnt buy it from a store I got it from ebay and I dont remeber the sellers user name. Sorry :(

[Lady Cele]

I bought the gold "One Ring" from the Noble Collection and its just awesome. The inscription is on the outside and the inside of the ring and is just perfect! I spent a little more than I intended but once I got it was very pleased. Haven't taken it off my finger yet...lol lol lol I now rule them all!

King Eomer Rulz:rock:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Ooooops...seems we have a dictator on our hands hehehe! I wonder...does it make you invisible too? :p

Seriously it's a wonderful item...I so wish I had the money to buy one of the pieces! Had my eye on the Lothlorien leaf broche for a while, but after seeing the original thing worn by the fellowship I just don't want it that bad anymore.

[MaidenLulu]

i voted the Elven Brooch.
it's just so simple but beautiful, and symbolises the friendship and companionship of the Fellowship.

http://www.legends-online.co.uk/acatalog/elven_broach.jpg

[Lidless Eye]

Its is really pretty!!! I have one. Its the actually the only piece of offcial LotR jewelry I have.

[Melian]

I also have the Elven brooch, I love it. I really get a thrill when someone recognizes it.

[Lidless Eye]

Thats so cool that peopel recognize it. Nobody recognizes mine. :grin:

[Mithril]

I've only had a couple of people recognise mine, but that's one of the reasons I like it so much- it's subtle, only people like us know it for what it is ;)

[MaidenLulu]

i'm gonna have to drop big hints to my boyfriend..........especially as my 18th birthday is coming up in July..............methinks that'd make a wonderful pressie!

[Lady of the Rings]

lol Goodluck!

For my 18th birthday,about a week ago, my friends bought me the official Evenstar pendant and a necklace that matches perfectly with it! :thumbs: It's absolutely beautiful! Couldn't have asked for a better present veryhappy

[Lady Moat]

well 2 years ago on christmas, my hubbie bought me the official Evenstar, so i always thought that was my fav, but since then i have aquired Galadriel's broach, and Arwen's butterfly broach......and i can't choose between the 3, they are all so beautiful! i won't dare wear any of them. i don't want to damage them...*i just thought of something- i wear my wedding ring everyday which cost like 10 times the amount of the LOTR jewlery , but i won't wear the LOTR jewlery....*?? i think i am just waiting for a special occasion, or am just nuts! :p

[Lady Moat]

Arwen's and galadriel's tiaras are next on my list!
i love the pics i have seen of galadriel's tiara, but it's expensive.. :(

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Oh you lucky girl, you gotta wear them! Ofcourse one dont just put on such pieces with any clothes...depends on your dressing style I suppose! The Evenstar I would wear beneath anything tho. But I do think for everyday wear if you're into f.ex. a bit bohemic styles they would work well, and even if you like mixing jeans with velvets and silks!

I just would loooooove to get a tiara...they are abolsutely wonderful!!!!

sorry about the posting! oh i found out that the Arwen tiara is tiny! it's only about 5" across, so i don't think it's for wear, and to think it's like $150 and you can't wear it!
:nono:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

What?!!! Not wear it? Now what is the purpose of that! :rolleyes: What site did you say that was again? Link?

well i have see a "real" pic of it from someone selling theirs on ebay, but here is a link, but they make it look bigger than it really is!

it's only 5" across, it's heavy and i don't see how it can stay on.....

so there is a pic of Liv wearing it in the movie, and there is no way that 5 inches across would fit :(

i wonder if the Galadriel crown is the same way?
oh i have seen people making really cool home versions of Arwen's coronation crown and selling them if anyone wants to see pics, i'll poste em, let me know ;)

I chose the Evenstar. I don't realy wear silver but I think the Evenstar is beautiful. I also like the one ring, but I can only vote once. I keep pretending my dad's wedding ring is the One Ring (he never wears it because it is miles too big.)

really you don't like silver too much?
i hate gold, with a passion :(
i think unless you're really tanned, a lot of gold looks cheesy, my wedding ring is white gold, so it looks silver.... but i think it's all about your skin/hair color....i have super pale skin , and dyed blue black hair (and tats , and people w/ sleeves like me look awful w/ gold jewelry) so silver looks a lot better.....but i only wear my wedding ring, and a nice, but cheaper version of the Evenstar...come to think of it, i have never worn the official Evenstar i have...

I voted for Nenya. I got the Elven Brooch first, which I wear - but no one outside my friends and relatives ever recognizes it. Every time I had birthday $$, or Christmas $$ or work bonus (thank goodness for those!!) or I save up and I try to get a new piece. I wear them all and enjoy them. They all seem to be pretty sturdy. I don't wear the Evenstar too much, it is so very pretty and with the crystal stones I'm really afraid of dropping it. I'm really clumsy. Nenya felt really big at first, but now I'm used to it and I feel undressed without it - but I have to be careful, its pretty sharp and I've managed to jab my own finger a couple of times - actually clumsy is probably an understatement! :blush:

[Eriu]

I voted for Galadriel's tiara, not pratical to wear everyday, but I love the style the way it weaves and has golden leaves and it's just so cool. THe Evenstar is cool, but it's not quite me if you catch my drift. Nenya is cool, but not me either, the One ring, well, not me but it's cool, I mean, c'mon it's the ONE ring! lol Oh the Elven Brooch, that is a pretty piece, I'd get if I had the money. I love leaves. Seems practical too...

[Mithril]

Interesting comments here- I wear my LOTR pieces all the time, I have the One Ring in silver, I'm with Lady Moat here, I don't like yellow gold, so I replaced my wedding ring with the One Ring ( I'm not superstitious about things like that ) and as for necklaces, I alternate between Sting, my Rohan necklace and the Evenstar. I wear the Elven leaf almost everytime I go anywhere, either on a jacket or scarf.
And yes, I will be wearing both the Evenstar and the brooch at my sons wedding! ;)

[Cuiel Rilwen]

I too agree that there is no sense in getting beautiful, expensive jewelry and put in a drawer. I don't own any LotR-pieces, (yet!), but I would certainly wear them as often as I could!

[Laurelin]

You all can laugh at me if you want, but my approach is to use my fine china, drink from my crystal glasses, wear my expensive jewelry (which I don't have much of btw) as much as I want... You just never know when you'll no longer be around and I would have hated the thought of never enjoying what I had to the fullest while I have it. ;)

That said, I would love a Nenya ring. :grin:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

I totally agree on all points! :grin:

I could pick I would love to have Galadriels head-dress...it's absolutely gorgeous! But with all that's said above it would prob end up being used once a year! lol So I'd in fact rather have Gandalf's brooch, it would fit my style well, and I would wear it a lot! I also like that elven necklace with the green gems...only I find the gems to be a bit...green! lol The shape is very beautiful tho.

[Isilme_cu]

Gandalf's brooch is great for holding my turkish wrap closed (kind of like a long oblong poncho with a split down the front in a nice brown and dark brown/black pattern ) I toss one end over my shoulder and pin it with the brooch - I feel very elvish when I wear it! Gandalf's brooch is pretty big - about 4" long. And strong too.

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Oh that sounds nice! Tell me does it have a solid, secure clasp? What I fear mostly about expensive pieces is that they'll fall off!

[Eriu]

Yeah I know, I wondered that myself. Some of the rings that they sell they say "Not for everyday wear." And I"m like "EH? I am not paying that money for a decorative RING, I want the real thing! Make a real to wear ring of barahir etc..." Geez. Now I hear Evenstar is sort of flimsy? Tarnishes? Think they should go import mithril from ME eh? heh heh. I know what I want for Xmas though, a custom made necklace! I would like to get wedding bands for Shadohnkh and I though, with Elvish inscription on them :) "Mo Anam Cara" My soul friend I believe it means, or something to that description. Still, I'm with you Cuiel, Galadriels' headress, woo hoo! ;)

[Cuiel Rilwen]

What!? :o Those pieces you've heard are bad quality,are they New Line products, or copies? Ofcourse silver does blacken if you don't wear and clean it...but I would be very sad to hear that the quality is poor on the real deal with all the devoted fans out there buying them! :(

[Mithril]

I haven't found any of my pieces to be bad quality, and as I've mentioned, I wear them all the time, I sometimes clean the Elven brooch with silver polish, but it stays quite clean, as does the Evenstar, I've found that just a wash with liquid soap after wearing them for the day is enough to keep them looking good.

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Well I'm glad to hear that! It is kinda weird with silver..when in use it stays spotless, but if you keep it in a drawer it gets tarnished...almost like its punishing you if you don't wear it! lol

[Elfdaughter]

*sulks* I put a bid in for Arwen's Evenstar on e-bay - but I lost it - went up to £35, wich is still really cheap, but it started at £9.99....

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Awwww that sucks ED...it would have been such a wonderful item to own!

[Elfdaughter]

I know! I'm watching two others, so hopefully I'll get one of them...I'll have to put a bid in at the last minute...

I didn't know that about liquid soap, Mithril!! Does it really work?

[Mithril]

It does for me, but I suppose it depends on how often you wear them, if they're left in a box for weeks then you might have to polish them. I've had the Evenstar almost a month, and I've never had to clean it with polish yet, but I wear it 3-4 times a week, and always wash it when I take it off. It's worth a try to see if it works for you! :)

[Ithildiel Noldoran]

I've had my Evenstar for a few months now, and I often wear it, but I always used-please, don't laugh at this :blush: -those special moist napkins we use for cleaning glasses...but I wanted something more efficient! ;)

Already tried the liquid soap on both the Evenstar and my One Ring...worked like a charm!! :thumbs: They're sparkling like I just got them!! veryhappy

*sigh* I want more LotR jewellery!!! :grin: I'm thinking of getting Nenya and the leaf brooch after-or around-Christmas!! :cool:

[Isilme_cu]

Hi Cuiel! The Gandalf brooch's pin closing is pretty strong. Its about (the pin thing itself) is about 2 inches long and it has one of those little wheel type things that closes around the point. I've had it almost a year and its not tarnished and it went through last winter attached to my coat. The brooch part itself is really thick and heavy. All my stuff came either from New Line or the Nobel Collection. Its all good! veryhappy

[Cuiel Rilwen]

I'm glad to hear that you folks are happy with your jewelry! Also very handy with cleaningtips!

That Gandalf brooche sure is pretty! I'm saving up to buy something...and I think that will be it! ;)

[Ithildiel Noldoran]

I want the Gandalf brooch too! A friend of mine has it and it looks fabulous!! Must really go shopping,lol! :p
