Out of all the jewellers in the world, Peter Jackson chose The Ringmaker Jens Hansen to make The One Ring™ for our favourite movies. Jens submitted 15 ring prototypes in a variety of weights and finishes, and from this extensive collection, the final Movie Ring design was selected. This design has now become the “World’s Most Famous Ring”.

The Jens Hansen team also created Vilya, the ring worn by Hugo Weaving as Elrond, and last year made a special commission of 12 rings for The Hobbit’s actors who played the dwarfs.

In the workshop in Nelson, New Zealand – the middle of Middle Earth – the Jens Hansen craftsmen make gold and silver The One Ring™ replicas and character rings, along with sought-after distinctive, Scandinavian-inspired jewellery.

And, because Jens Hansen loves us movie fans so much, they are running a competition for us. Click here to like them on Facebook to enter the draw to win your own gold-plated The One Ring replica, in your size choice with engraving or without. And, don’t forget to follow them on Tumblr and Twitter so you can follow all their news. Good luck! [Enter Today]

As a family of Tolkien fans nothing brings us more pleasure then to make the objects of Middle-earth come alive. Quality is always at the forefront of our design process, but so is value. Each piece of jewelry is made to be worn on a daily basis and to last over time. This Hobbit season we are proud to offer:

24k gold-plated Gollum One Ring necklace

The One Ring of Power. Available in sterling silver, gold, platinum and as a 24k gold-plated necklace. What makes the last of these — our 24k gold-plated Gollum Gold One Ring necklace — so special is our Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee.

All plating eventually wears away, but with our Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee all you have to do is send your original ring and chain back to us, pay for return shipping and we will send you a brand-new ring and chain. The best part is, you can do this as may times as you want. Our goal is to make items that people will be happy with for a very long time.

Sterling silver Bag End door necklace

This Bag End door necklace features Gandalf’s secret mark in the top-right corner. Available in sterling silver, yellow bronze and white bronze. Bronze versions are also available as key chains.

Bronze Thror’s Key necklace

It is easy to forget that the events of The Hobbit were hinged on a very simple object, a secret key that would open a secret door. This was Thrór’s Key.

“Here it is!” he said, and handed to Thorin a key with a long barrel and intricate wards, made of silver. “Keep it safe!”

The barrel of the key is engraved in dwarvish Runes with the same phrase that is found on Thrór’s map: “Five Feet High The Door, And Three May Walk Abreast. TH * TH” The TH runes are Thrór’s signature.

Thror’s Key is available in sterling silver and white bronze. The bronze version is also available as a key chain.

The Arkenstone replica in dwarven treasure chest

The Arkenstone replica is made from fine K9 Crystal which has been treated with an Aurora Borealis plating, giving the the orb a magical glow. The stone exhibits a variety of color depending on what type light its under.

The Arkenstone replica comes nestled on a black velvet pillow inside a dwarven-crafted wooden treasure chest.

The Arkenstone necklace

The necklace features the Arkenstone clutched in the claw of Smaug, one of the last great dragons of Middle-earth.

The dragon claw necklace is three dimensional and cast in solid sterling silver. Available in sterling silver and 14k gold.

The Smaug ring

The Gollum creature ring

Gollum’s spindly arms and legs wrap around your finger, creating the band. The ring measures approximately 12.3 mm (1/2″) wide at the creature’s elbows and the band measures approximately 5.6 mm (just under 1/4″) wide. Sméagol’s head rises approximately 8.2 mm (5/16″) from your finger. The ring weighs approximately 7.1 grams.

The ring is available in sterling silver and 14k gold.

.

The Dwarven Rings of Power

The Seven Rings given to the dwarves by Sauron, each set with a brilliant gemstone. The rings are engraved with Futhark Runes, promising riches and treasure to those who wear them. Each ring is carefully handcrafted one at a time by the Badali Jewelry artists. They are forged in sterling silver and available in seven different gemstones.

What sets Badali Jewelry Specialities jewelry items apart from other jewelers offering licensed lines is that each piece is made one at a time and finished by hand at our facility in Layton Utah, not in mass bulk by a third party.

By making each of our items specifically for our customers as they order them, we are able to ensure that the quality and craftsmanship of every piece is of the highest quality.

Another thing that sets us apart is that we stand behind our products 100% and help is only a phone call away. Our customer service is something we take great pride in and are always happy to answer any questions, no mater how large or small.
