Since Squatter has suggested that it is not particularly linked to a race of ME and they are part of our world (IE close to home).
I think you may have misunderstood. I said

By that I mean that it isn't more relevant to any one race than the others. You're right in saying that the Planets suite isn't a choral piece, and Elvish cosmology isn't going to furnish the answer: I don't think it would be that accurate to refer to the planets as 'jewellery'. I can see where you're going with 'worldly', and you're in the right forest if barking up the wrong tree. You were closer to working out the reasoning last time: remember that something can be the solution for part of the clue without being the overall answer.

How about the Nauglamir?

Pipe New clue in effect

If Nauglamír is an answer to my clue, I should point out that we're on a new one now. To satisfy your curiosity, though, I'll tell you that it isn't the solution.

Since I mean to recycle 'worldly jewellery' until someone solves it, I can't give Turambar the answer either. Looks as though you'll have to exercise your wits, old boy.

Coyote's banes? Giants? Sounds to me like a reference to The Hobbit. Presumably the coyote here is the Road Runner's arch enemy, who was regularly crushed by falling stones. I seem to recall that it's rocks that the stone-giants hurl at one another. Could that be the answer?

Question

Or football, since Thorin suggests that the stone-giants were playing football with the rocks?

Or simply, stone-giants ?
