Re: Shield
Though shields probably had some metal component to them, I doubt they were made solely of metal. More likely to be wood with metal plating. Just imagine carrying around a solid block of metal that size.
Re: Accessories
I don't know if I'm interpreting the "hobbit thing" too broadly, but a bunch of stuff is out because it was worn by hobbits (though not made by them) - Ring chain, Lorien brooches.
Re: Clothes materials
Plant based materials might still be used - linen and such. Don't know what silk counts as, hough probably not plant. But I believe for most clothes we don't have enough info to conclusively say it's not plant material either - unless wool or leather are specified.
Yes, we probably could have gotten it in 20 if we were wiser with the questions. But here we are, going past the limit.
Given the speculations in Huey's post, I think it's time to ask what should have been asked way earlier before we got sidetracked into clothing material:
Is it a piece of jewelry?
