The necessary attention to detail in “The Lord of the Rings” movie included jewelry designs (besides the One Ring) that had to be realized from a few sentences of Tolkien’s text. New Zealand jeweler Jasmine Watson created much of the Art Nouveau inspired Elven jewelry, such as Arwen’s Evenstar, Galadriel’s ring Nenya, and the cloak clasps given to the Fellowship by the Lothlorien Elves. The clasps can be clearly seen in the movie though they are not explicitly referred to in any scene (yet). Unlike some movie and TV props, which in real life bear more resemblance to junk shop jewels, the accessories in this movie would be perfect for any Middle, or actual, Earth gathering. Her CV hints that she’s working with a merchandising company to duplicate the jewelry, so perhaps elf crowns will be available at a store near you soon. You can already buy a licensed version of The One Ring. (via memepool)
