hobbit071307Piggybacking on the great post earlier with the video of the Badali Jewelry booth during Comic-Con, we have news that a few of these new items are available for order. The Khuzdul Dwarven Battle Axe and the Baggins Cuff Links are two amazing items which were shown in the video, and which can be purchased right now. You can get the Baggins Cuff Links in sterling silver for an amazing price of only $119, and the Khuzdul Dwarven Battle Axe can be purchased as a necklace for $39. You can also get the Khuzdul Dwarven Battle Axe as a keychain for $39, with both the necklace and keychain coming in white or yellow bronze.

Today, via their Facebook Page, the awesome folks at Badali Jewelry announced another new piece: The Mirkwood Elven Necklace, which holds the emeralds of Girion the last lord of Dale, is available for purchase! This stunning necklace comes in sterling silver with beautiful green emerald encased within the leaves of Mirkwood. You can get this piece ordered today for a great price of $75. If you order now through the end of the month, using the coupon code SMAUG you can take 15% off your order, allowing you to get an even better price on these beautiful pieces.

The coverage and content of Comic Con keeps on coming to those who didn’t make it and even for those who did but couldn’t be everywhere at once. We will continue to release videos from our night and day experiences and we are starting out with a tour of Badali Jewelry’s booth which they were kind enough to share with us! Not only are they good friends to the site and Tolkien fandom, they make some pretty incredible Middle-earth stuff and through the end of July they are offering a discount to TORn readers and viewers. With coupon code SMAUG you can get 15 percent off your entire order. This video allows you to meet the down-to-earth team there as they show and chat about their amazing merchandise.

The booth folks at Comic Con are the same people working back at home as tradespeople and Tolkien fans and they were behind this year’s excellent poster. They also made the “Good Luck” pins worn by the folks from the LOTR and Hobbit productions that were nominated for academy awards. They make a lovely One Ring too — obviously! They financially sponsored our Live Stream this year from Con so we are always in their debt. Here is their website so enjoy!
