The Arkenstone of Thrain was created and treasured by the Dwarven Longbeards clan of the Lonely Mountain. The Arkenstone was described by Thorin Oakenshield as “a globe with a thousand facets; it shone like silver in the firelight, like water in the sun, like snow under the stars, like rain upon the Moon!” When Bilbo Baggins discovered the Arkenstone on the top of Smaug’s treasure horde, “it was tinged with a flickering sparkle of many colours at the surface.” The stone filled his tiny Hobbit hand, yet he was able to secret the Arkenstone away in his deepest pockets.
The Arkenstone replica is made from fine K9 Crystal which has been treated with an Aurora Borealis plating, giving the the orb a magical glow. The stone exhibits a variety of color depending on what type light its under. The Arkenstone replica comes nestled on a black velvet pillow inside a Dwarven crafted wooden treasure chest. The runes stamped on the name plate on top of the chest read Arkenstone, written in the same Dwarvish runes found on Thorin’s Map. The Arkenstone measures approximately 59 mm (2 5/16″) in diameter — big enough to fill a Hobbit hand, but small enough to hide in a deep pocket. The chest measures approximately 4 1/8″ long, 4 1/8″ wide by 4″ tall (104.3 mm x 106 mm x 100 mm). The Arkenstone replica and Dwarven treasure chest weigh approximately 3/4 pounds (12 oz.).

For the very first time, Weta is pleased to offer the most authentic ONE Ring ever from The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The ONE Ring is handcrafted by the skilled team at the Jens Hansen jewellery workshop in Nelson, New Zealand (Middle-earth). Jens Hansen was famed by many as the father of modern New Zealand jewellery and was well known for pushing the boundaries of what could be done with rings. This reputation as a brilliant ringmaker was one of the main reasons he was approached to make the ONE Ring for the movies. Find out more about Jens Hansen on their website.
Today Halfdan Hansen continues his father’s legacy, working in the very same Nelson workshop, crafting the highest quality jewellery.
The ONE Ring is made to order in 18 carat gold.
It can be ordered as an exact movie replica without inscriptions, or with the elvish inscriptions on both the interior and exterior of the ring, as designed by the original Weta artists.
The sterling silver chain is 65cm long, as worn by Frodo, with the same clasp design, as per the original.
The ONE Ring carries the quality endorsement and hallmarks of Jens Hansen, Weta and New Line Cinema. It comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Halfdan Hansen.
Created by the original artists. This is the ONE Ring to rule them all.
