Some pieces of jewellery are beautiful. A few carry an entire story. Arwen's Evenstar is one of the few, a small and shining star that holds within it a choice most of us will never have to make: to give up forever for the sake of one lifetime with the person you love.

Where Legolas fights with a bow from a distance, Tauriel closes. Her primary weapons are two daggers — used in combination, in close combat, with a fighter's physicality that makes the "graceful Elf" archetype feel active and immediate rather than ethereal. These 36mm drop earrings carry the form of those daggers in solid 925 sterling silver — the weapon of the Mirkwood guard's most lethal warrior, worn at the ear. Officially licensed. Made in New Zealand.

Arwen's Evenstar, the delicate silver pendant from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films, is the token of one of Middle-earth's greatest sacrifices. Arwen Undómiel, an immortal Elf, gives it to the mortal Aragorn as a sign that she has chosen him over her own eternal life. The name means "evening star," the meaning of Arwen's own name, and it echoes her ancestor Eärendil, who bears a star across the night sky. Invented for the films to replace the book's green Elessar, it has become one of the most recognisable pieces of fantasy jewellery in the world.

The Rings of Power were nineteen rings made in Eregion in the Second Age of Middle-earth — seven for the Dwarf-lords, nine for the kings of Men, and three for the Elven-kings — plus one more, forged in secret by Sauron alone in the fires of Mount Doom, designed to govern all the others. They were not merely weapons or symbols of status. They were instruments of a specific strategy: the gradual, patient enslavement of the most powerful people in Middle-earth through the amplification of their own desires.

The Hunt for Gollum story, in brief: Andy Serkis has revealed that The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is a deep dive into Gollum's psychology and history before he became Gollum — driven by Gandalf's urgent question about the true origin of the ring Bilbo Baggins carries. The hunt unfolds across "two different dimensions," sits between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, is filming now in New Zealand, and reaches cinemas on 17 December 2027.
