The Sting Pendant — Sterling Silver Elven Blade
Bilbo's Sword from the Troll-hoard of the Misty Mountains
"I shall give you a name, and I shall call you Sting."
— Bilbo Baggins, The Hobbit
The Blade That Chose the Unlikely

In all the heroic traditions of Middle-earth — the great swords of kings, the legendary weapons of Elvish warriors, the axes of dwarf-lords — none tells a stranger or more enduring story than a small blade found in a filthy troll-hoard by a very bewildered hobbit from the Shire who had never held a weapon in his life.

Sting was forged in Gondolin during the First Age — a blade of the Elvish city that stood until it fell, whose weapons were scattered through the long ages of the world until most were lost forever. When Bilbo Baggins stumbled across it in the hoard of the trolls Bert, Tom, and William, he had no idea what he had found. He named it himself, after using it for the first time against the Great Spiders of Mirkwood — and in naming it, made it his own.

This is the official sterling silver pendant of that blade — 65mm of solid 925 sterling silver, capturing the elegant, lethal curve of Elven design that Peter Jackson's production team brought to screen. Made in New Zealand by the official licence holders. Substantial enough to be a genuine statement piece. Light enough to wear every day as a reminder that even the smallest person can change the course of the future.

A Sibling Blade to Glamdring & Orcrist

Sting, Glamdring (Gandalf's sword), and Orcrist (Thorin Oakenshield's blade) were all forged in Gondolin — three blades from the same ancient Elvish armoury, scattered through the years and found together in the same troll-hoard in the Misty Mountains. Glamdring went to the greatest wizard in Middle-earth. Orcrist went to the King Under the Mountain. Sting went to a hobbit. The blade chose its bearer well.


The History of Sting — From Gondolin to the Shire

Gondolin was the last and greatest of the hidden Elven cities of the First Age — a city of towers and fountains built in secret in a mountain-ringed valley, protected by enchantments that kept it hidden for nearly four hundred years. Its weapons were the finest made in Middle-earth at the height of Elvish craft. When Morgoth finally destroyed Gondolin in the First Age, the survivors fled, and much of what they carried was lost in the chaos of centuries.

Sting was one of those scattered blades. By the Third Age it had found its way into the hoard of three particularly unpleasant trolls in the Trollshaws east of Rivendell — until thirteen dwarves, a wizard, and a very reluctant hobbit came looking for the trolls' gold. Gandalf identified the blades immediately. He took Glamdring. Thorin took Orcrist. And Bilbo, holding a blade that was merely a dagger to an elf but a very reasonable sword for a hobbit, kept Sting.

The blade had one other quality that made it uniquely suited to its new owner: it glowed with a cold blue light whenever Orcs or Goblins were near. For a hobbit navigating the tunnels beneath the Misty Mountains, the caverns of Mirkwood, and the horrors of Mordor, this enchantment was not decorative. It was the difference between arriving and not arriving at all.


Does Sting Actually Glow Blue?

In Tolkien's lore, yes — Sting glows with a cold blue light whenever Orcs or Goblins are near. This is not a metaphor or a film effect: it is part of the blade's Elvish enchantment, described in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The glow saved Bilbo in the tunnels beneath the Misty Mountains, warned Frodo in the mines of Moria, and gave Samwise Gamgee the courage to act in the darkest passages of Mordor.

This sterling silver pendant is a faithful replica of the blade's cinematic form. It does not contain LEDs or UV-reactive material — it is polished 925 sterling silver, maintaining its beautiful silver brilliance at all times. The glow lives in the lore. The blade lives in your hands.


Craftsmanship & Specifications
65mm — A Substantial PendantAt 65mm (2.6 inches) in length, Sting is a genuine statement piece — large enough to be the clear focal point of any outfit, weighted correctly to hang straight and display the blade's elegant proportions. This is not a delicate miniature. It is a pendant with presence.Elven Design in Precious MetalThe elegant curve of the blade, the Elvish detail of the grip and crossguard, the proportions established by Weta Workshop's prop team for Peter Jackson's films — all faithfully reproduced in solid 925 sterling silver. The same organic flowing line that distinguishes Elvish metalwork from the heavier craft of Dwarves or Men.
45cm Chain IncludedA complimentary 45cm (18-inch) sterling silver chain is included — the pendant arrives ready to wear or gift immediately. The 45cm length positions Sting at the collarbone on most wearers, the ideal display position for a 65mm pendant.Hobbit Pouch & Licence of AuthenticityPackaged in a thematic Hobbit pouch — the same presentation used for officially licensed Hobbit-trilogy collectibles — with a Licence of Authenticity card confirming the New Line Productions licence. Gift-ready from the moment it arrives.
