If you have been following our LIVE stream coverage from Comic-Con 2013, you may have noticed we experienced a few technical hiccups with the video stream yesterday. Well, thanks to our long time friends at Badali Jewelry, we can now say those technical woes are behind us! With their support as our major stream sponsor, we can now bring you full coverage for the remaining two days of the event.
And possibly even more exciting news for collectors…they have given us an exclusive 15% OFF coupon to use both on the Comic-Con floor and online at their website badalijewelry.com. Simply use the code ‘SMAUG‘ during checkout and your discount will be applied. The offer is good until the end of the monthy, so act fast!

[Badali Jewelry] [Live Coverage]
Waaaay back at the dawn of TheOneRing.net (last century) Badali Jewelry was the very first sponsor of our enterprise website that dared to follow “The Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy when it was just a whisper on the wind. 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’s show, allowing enough room to share with us! TORn will be hanging out for the duration of SDCC, so really, we can’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!)
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 “Hobbit” related stuff and some significant discounts. Here is what they had to say:
Our main announcement is that we will be hosting TORn at our booth this year, but of course, you already know that. 😉 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.
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’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. Continue reading “Badali Jewelry at Comic-Con with TORn as guests!”
Janelle Powell from Badali Jewelry writes: Just wanted to let you know that we are bringing back the Comic Con Preview Night Exclusive Sale for 2011. During Preview Night (Wednesday the 20th) all customers will receive 30% off their entire purchase (excludes items already on sale). This is a chance to receive the lowest prices on our jewelry for the entire year.
We will have a full inventory of Sterling Silver One Rings, Nenya’s, Smaug’s and Gollum Gold One Ring Necklaces, as well as select sizes of Sterling Silver Narya’s, Vilya’s and Gollum Creature Rings. Sterling Silver One Ring will be marked down from $98.00 to $68.60. Sterling Silver Nenya’s will be marked down from $99.00 to $69.30. These will be some of the absolute lowest prices on our Lord of The Ring’s Jewelry that can be found all year long. We are even offering 30% off the regular retail price for any orders that are placed with us at our booth on Preview Night. This means that literally everything on our website will be available at the 30% discount, including all gold items. 10k Yellow Gold One Rings will be available for $581.90, that’s a savings of $235.10 off the regular retail price.
