Ring of Barahir - because there was no fight for its possession?

NightKnight · 04-12-2004, 02:25 AM

Arkenstone - not made by elves.

Nope!

hmmm

-Silmarils? wait wait! hear me out! only items not given as gifts at some point. see my reasoning

-the arkenstone was given to thorin oakenshield (well, his tomb) by bard
-vilya was given to Elrond from Gil-Galad
-Sting and the MIthril vest given to frodo from bilbo
-ring of barahir was a gift to barahir from finrod

now the silmarils, made by feanor, were never really given. only recovered through war. And even stolen by Maedhros and Maglor. so there!

Great Reasoning...but not the right answer! That was a good point, but not what i'm looking for! Sorry though

Sting didn't have any jewels on it.

Silmarils and Arkenstone - Duh...
Vilya had a sapphire, if I remember it rightly
The mithril vest had pearl and crystal in a belt
The Ring of Barahir had emeralds in it

The Silmarils- the location of these was not exactly known during the Third Age?
