If you&#8217;ve missed them previously, here&#8217;s a round-up.</p>
<p> <i>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:</i><span id="more-62748"></span></p>
<h3>24k gold-plated Gollum One Ring necklace</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.badalijewelry.com/theonering.htm" target="_blank"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5IEKD_NDryk/UG69iAIkCKI/AAAAAAAACfE/RBRkC8vNosc/s220/c64071.jpg" align="right" hspace="10"></a><br />
The One Ring of Power. Available in sterling silver, gold, platinum and as a 24k gold-plated necklace. What makes the last of these &#8212; our 24k gold-plated Gollum Gold One Ring necklace &#8212; so special is our Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Sterling silver Bag End door necklace</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.badalijewelry.com/hobbit.htm" target="_blank"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_MDXwaGSgek/UG69gzEHZSI/AAAAAAAACew/wZXEM9SzLHU/s220/HBT-04.gif" align="right" hspace="10"></a></p>

<p>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&#8217;s Key. </p>
<p>&#8220;Here it is!&#8221; he said, and handed to Thorin a key with a long barrel and intricate wards, made of silver.  &#8220;Keep it safe!&#8221;</p>
<p>The barrel of the key is engraved in dwarvish Runes with the same phrase that is found on Thrór&#8217;s map: &#8220;Five Feet High The Door, And Three May Walk Abreast.  TH * TH&#8221;  The TH runes are Thrór&#8217;s signature.</p>
<p>Thror&#8217;s Key is available in sterling silver and white bronze. The bronze version is also available as a key chain.</p>

<p>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.  </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.  </p>

I also love collecting items representing that world. As you&#8217;ve probably noticed through the reviews here, I&#8217;ve got more than a few items in my collection. It helps bring the magic Tolkien created and Jackson adapted home along with smiles every time I look at my items.</p>
<p>Now, TORn, as part of our super-secret project, wants to <strong>showcase you</strong> and your collection!</p>
<p>Starting today, through to next Wednesday, we here at TORn will be collecting submissions in search of Ringer Super Collectors at large. What we need are three to four good pictures of you and your collection, along with a brief write-up about why you are a super collector (write-ups must be 500 words or less).</p>
<p>Email your pictures and write-up to Elessar@theonering.net. We&#8217;ll start going through the submissions and you never know &#8212; you just might see you and your collection posted soon!</p>

<p><em>&#8220;It is easy to forget the 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.  Thorin’s Dwarven party desired to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug, The Dragon, more then anything.  The answer to the dwarves quest was a map, door and key created in secret by Thorin’s grandfather, Thrór.  Gandalf presents Thorin with this secret key when the party joins together at Bilbo Baggins home. “Here it is!&#8221; he said, and handed to Thorin a key with a long barrel and intricate wards, made of silver. &#8220;Keep it safe!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Engraved on the barrel of the key is the same phrase written in Dwarvish runes that are found on Thrór’s map: “Five Feet High The Door, And Three May Walk Abreast.&#8221; The key will be available in 2 different sizes, a 1 7/8&#8243; Sterling Silver Necklace and a 2 7/8&#8243; White Bronze Necklace or Key Chain. Note that this product is not yet available on their website. A limited inventory will be available at Comic-Con, with online sales to follow.</p>

But aside from the TORn panel and WB’s panel for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, you may be wondering what else there is for a Hobbit fan to do. The Official SDCC website has put up schedules for panels, autograph sessions, films and portfolio reviews (aspiring artists, please take note). So here is your handy, dandy TORn guide to all things Hobbit and Lord of the Rings related at comic con this year (after the break)</p>
<p><span id="more-58170"></span></p>
<p>There are no panels on Preview night, so this is the perfect time to explore the exhibit hall and visit all the vendors that will have LOTR and Hobbit related products. Here is a still growing list of booths to visit, including the booths that we will be sharing space with:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Badali Jewelry &#8211; #530/532 (and one home of TORn during SDCC)</p>
<p>Sideshow Collectibles &#8211; #1929</p>
<p>Warner Bros. &#8211; #4545</p>
<p>WETA &#8211; #3513B (second home to TORn)</p>
<p>Donato Arts &#8211; #4503</p>
<p>Gentle Giant &#8211; #3513</p>
<p>LEGO &#8211; #2829</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2012/07/04/58170-sdcc-is-coming-whats-a-hobbit-to-do-at-comic-con-2012/220px-elijah_wood_at_wondercon_2009_1/" rel="attachment wp-att-58175"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-58175" title="220px-Elijah_Wood_at_WonderCon_2009_1" src="http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/220px-Elijah_Wood_at_WonderCon_2009_1.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="200" /></a>Make sure to stop by and visit the TORn staff at both booth locations to purchase shirts and buttons, and have the chance to play any number of LOTR themed games. You will also  be able to get more information about TORn’s Hobbit Premiere Tour in November. And starting on Thursday the WB is going to have a full on fan experience located outside the convention center between Hall H and the Hilton Bayfront Hotel. Included in that experience will be some LOTR events such as video game play of Guardians of Middle-earth and LEGO the Lord of the rings: 3D Street Art. You will find all the details at <a href="http://comiccon.thewb.com">http://comiccon.thewb.com</a>/</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>THURSDAY:</p>
<p>Please accept our invitation to join TheOneRing.net in one of the convention’s opening panels. We will be in room <a href="http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2012/07/04/58170-sdcc-is-coming-whats-a-hobbit-to-do-at-comic-con-2012/karl-urban-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-58176"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-58176" title="Karl-Urban" src="http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Karl-Urban-236x300.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="300" /></a>6DE starting at 10:15am, please pay attention to the convention center’s instructions on the proper entrances and exits for the panel room. Remember to wear your Tolkien themed costumes, we will be having a Cosplay meetup directly after the panel, out on the Terrace behind the Sails Pavilion. Later in the afternoon you will be able to choose from seeing Elijah Wood on the Wilfred panel, at 4pm in the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront, or of seeing Karl Urban moderate the Masters of the Web presentation at 4:30pm in room 24ABC.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>FRIDAY:</p>
<p>This will be a fairly light day for Tolkien programming, but you can see a few LOTR cast members today. First up will be Sean Astin at 10:15am in room 6BCF for the Go Green: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles presentation. You can then have fun the rest of the day, enjoying the WB event outside, or wandering the exhibit hall, and then end your day with John Noble. At 7:15pm in room 6A, you can see a <a href="http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2012/07/04/58170-sdcc-is-coming-whats-a-hobbit-to-do-at-comic-con-2012/sean-astin-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-58177"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-58177" title="Sean Astin" src="http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Sean-Astin-204x300.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="300" /></a>presentation for Dark Matters: Twisted but True, a show on the Science channel hosted by John Noble.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SATURDAY:</p>
<p>With the WB panel in Hall H in the afternoon, it is expected that some of you may line up, maybe even as early as Friday night. In that instance, TORn will be there to help you out. Maybe not the whole night, but don’t be surprised if we pop up from time to time to host a game or two, give out some goodies, and basically, turn the Line into a Line Party. If you feel like taking a break from waiting to get into Hall H, you can find John Noble signing autographs for an hour, starting at 1:30pm out under the Sails Pavilion at table AA19. But please do make sure you are inside Hall H by no later than 2:30pm for the WB panel. The schedule listing promises looks at Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo Del Toro, a quick look at Man of Steel, and a presentation for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey with Peter Jackson and numerous cast on hand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SUNDAY:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2012/07/04/58170-sdcc-is-coming-whats-a-hobbit-to-do-at-comic-con-2012/john-noble-cu-infphoto-959895/" rel="attachment wp-att-58178"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-58178" title="john-noble-cu-infphoto-959895" src="http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/john-noble-cu-infphoto-959895-193x300.jpg" alt="" width="193" height="300" /></a>The last item where you can find a LOTR connection is the Fringe Panel, starring John Noble, running at 10am in Hall H. After this, treat yourself to a complete run through the exhibit hall to ensure you have not missed any collectibles, games and fun before heading home. TheOneRing.net will be there till the very end, so please stop by, as often as you wish. Mae Govannon.</p>

Since then the maker of officially licensed Middle-earth jewelry have been tight with the website. But this year at Comic-Con, TORn and Badali are getting even closer! Besides making amazing One Rings, they feature custom works spanning 22 specialized genre lines and they expanded space for this year&#8217;s show, allowing enough room to share with us! TORn will be hanging out for the duration of SDCC, so really, we can&#8217;t thank them enough for that. (We will also have staff hanging with our friends at the Weta Workshop booth, more on that in another story!)</p>
<p>We checked in to see what they had going on for the show and it turns out they have some great new items, including plenty of &#8220;Hobbit&#8221; related stuff and some significant discounts. Here is what they had to say:</p>
<p><em>Our main announcement is that we will be hosting TORn at our booth this year, but of course, you already know that. <img src='http://www.theonering.net/torwp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   We are spreading our wings into two booth spaces this year so that means more room for people to peruse and have a friendly chat with the BJS Inc and TORn crews.  We are in our traditional location of Booth #530 and now also #532.</p>
<p>We will also be debuting 3 brand new Officially Licensed The Hobbit pieces;  Sterling Silver Bag End Door Necklace, White and Yellow Bronze Large Bag End Necklace or Key Chain, and Thror&#8217;s Key, used to open the Secret Way into The Lonely Mountains.   These pieces are so detail oriented you have to see them with your own eyes to fully enjoy them.<span id="more-57914"></span></p>

<p>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 runes stamped on the name plate on top of the chest read <strong>Arkenstone</strong>, written in the same Dwarvish runes found on Thorin&#8217;s Map. The Arkenstone measures approximately 59 mm (2 5/16&#8243;) in diameter &#8212; big enough to fill a Hobbit hand, but small enough to hide in a deep pocket. The chest measures approximately 4 1/8&#8243; long, 4 1/8&#8243; wide by 4&#8243; tall (104.3 mm x 106 mm x 100 mm). The Arkenstone replica and Dwarven treasure chest weigh approximately 3/4 pounds (12 oz.).</p>
