The Elrond Pendant — The Star of Eärendil, A Symbol of Hope from the Last Homely House

Elrond Half-elven is the oldest active character in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films — born in the First Age to Eärendil the Mariner and Elwing the White, he has lived through the entirety of the Wars of Beleriand, the downfall of Númenor, the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, the loss of Gil-galad, the rise and apparent fall of Sauron, and the long centuries of the Third Age that followed. He has been present at almost every critical juncture in Middle-earth's history.

The pendant he wears is the Star of Eärendil — the Silmaril that his father carried into the heavens after the War of Wrath, where it became the morning and evening star visible from Middle-earth. To Elrond, it is not merely a symbol of hope. It is his father. The pendant represents the most ancient and personal connection in the film's narrative — the light that has been in the sky of Middle-earth since before the sun rose over the First Age, carried there by Eärendil, watched from Rivendell by his son for six thousand years. Officially licensed. Made in New Zealand — where Rivendell was filmed. 33mm × 24mm. Solid 925 sterling silver.

Eärendil the Mariner was Elrond's father — a Half-elven hero of the First Age who sailed to Valinor to beg the Valar for aid against Morgoth. The Valar granted his prayer, and as reward for his deed, set Eärendil in the sky bearing one of the three Silmarils — the greatest jewels ever made — as the brightest star in Middle-earth's sky. The star of Eärendil is the first thing Galadriel captures in the Phial she gives to Frodo. It is the light Frodo calls on in the lair of Shelob when every other light has gone out. In Tolkien's world, no symbol of hope appears more consistently across more of the story's darkest moments than the light Eärendil carries in the heavens. The Elrond Pendant carries that light in 33mm of polished sterling silver.
