A real jewellery shop called 'Gollum's Precious'
Yes, in Dublin, Ireland, there is a real jewellery shop called 'Gollum's Precious'.

The name is a bit creepy methinks... you might buy something and find the owner would stalk you for years before trying to reclaim the item by amputating the relevant bodypart (so don't get a necklace!) and you'd have to shove them in a volcano to get away... Presumably shoplifters are pursued by orcses.... Now if there were a jewellers called "Celebrimbor of Hollin"......

No
No, Galadriel55, I don't know who the owner is. However, I found some of the company's details on website www.solocheck.ie/IrishCompanyInfo:
Key Company Details for GOLLUM'S PRECIOUS LTD Registered Company Number: 344401 Company Type: PRIVATE LIMITED BY SHARES Current Status: NORMAL Principal Activity: [36.22] MANUFACTURE OF JEWELLERY AND RELATED ARTICLES N.E.C. Partial Registered Address: CO. DUBLIN On a website of the shopping centre where the shop's located is an advertisement for the shop, along with contact details: http://www.powerscourtcentre.com/sho...lums-precious/ A polite enquiry there might get you the information you're looking for. Another review of the shop can be found here: http://www.weddingsonline.ie/plannin...unt-jewellery/ Welcome to the Downs, Esmeralda! Last edited by Faramir Jones; 02-17-2011 at 05:36 AM. |

Or you could address a speculative letter to S. Gollum, Esq. - I seem to remember after he got a letter from a Mr S. Gamgee, Tolkien wondered how he would deal with one from anyone of that name!

A more accurate name
Any letter should properly refer to him as 'Sméagol (aka Gollum)'. It should also be polite, and not refer to him as a 'cousin-killer'.
