The Necklace Thing: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Evenstar The surname of Arwen: Title of Arwen, Queen to Aragorn II Elessar, referring not only to her radiant beauty, but also to her descent: the evening star was the light of the last Silmaril, bound to the brow of her grandfather Eärendil. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> (Encyclopedia of Arda)Her necklace was a very pretty heirloom with more symbolism than practicality. She gave it to Aragorn as a symbol of her undying love. Giving it to him, she promised to stay with him, to bind herself to him. But the necklace had nothing to do with it. She says something to the effect that no boat would take her [to the Gray Havens] anymore, because she made her choice. The necklace was like a wedding band; serves as a promise, but has no real power.Hope that helps.
