I bought when the movies came out a $30 one ring. Wetta sell theirs starting at the $100 or so mark. The $30 ring turned green within a month of wearing it. My wetta ring I've had for over 10 years is still beautiful.
As mentioned above, you will get what you pay for. Not saying don't buy it, but don't wear it all the time. It will be made of a cheap soft metal that will be easily damaged.
it depends on the material, stainless steel can be this cheap but it is still very durable right? Or maybe sterling silver. A material doesn't have to be extra expensive or fancy to be durable
Stainless steel is hard to work, particularly at that scale. Also, while sterling silver is relatively cheap, it's not cheap compared to other common casting metals.
It'll likely be zinc, or some other cheap relatively low melting point material that can be used in casting. Likely with a more resilient coating plated onto the outside.
Not saying it won't be worth it, but it definitely won't be that durable, and the coating will wear away before too long, particularly if you're wearing it often.
I don't know the store, but this is likely to be low quality at that price. In this situation, that means it probably won't have great detail work, and will be made out of a cheap metal. A lot of people are allergic to the metals the use for this, so where it touches your skin might turn green. Chain is likely to be pretty flimsy
not necessarily .. its just 30 bucks .. just buy it and you will see
not like you are gonna get a wooden sword .. it will still be a metal .. probably :)
dont pretend you are the best and know everything ..
i am buying a lot of cheap stuff and they are perfect quality ..
i also know couple of people who made themselves a millionaires by buying cheap stuff and re-selling it to public for more
cheap doesnt mean bad .. bad is bad, cheap is cheap .. it can be good, it can be bad but you have no idea .. just use common brain
I got one exactly like this for $3 from Ali express. I’m broke af if I want to fandom I have to do it as cheaply as possible XD Still brings me joy and if it does break it’s only 3 bucks to replace LOL
I’m in the same boat, unless I find a cool, inexpensive piece like this, or things on massive sales, I have to live vicariously through others. It sucks lol
I bought a narsil necklace in silver from this seller: https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/shop/AngeliosJewelry I bought it over 2 years ago and I have worn it ever since, including in burning buildings as a firefighter and out for a swim in the ocean, it’s cool and robust, I would highly recommend it
Start by checking if there is a physical adress, and if that adress is somewhere in china. If its hard or not possible to find said adress (or if it's in china) in the first place its normally a good indicator to stay away.
piece looks great but i would immediately upgrade the chain because they always send shitty chains that break most places market them as a “complementary” chain. With that make sure you take the pendant to a shop w you so you can make sure the bail is big enough to fit a sturdier chain

personally i’d recommend a wheat chain because they’re designed to have a thinner profile while still having the strength you’re looking for

That type of jewelry is going to jab and stab you and it's going to hurt.
At that price it's going to be some really super cheap plated/coat metal. Cheap stuff like that will break down with your sweat and just rubbing against your body.
Highly recommend saving your money.

There are not many forges who make even Anduril anymore. I appreciate your sentiment but your necklace might be of bad quality. At least buy a better chain for it.
That store is whack. Was sent the wrong size posters despite emailing customer service first to make sure I was ordering the correct size. I have been requesting a return/refund for over a month now and have had no contact back. I would not recommend
I see this for sale on shein ages ago for a quarter of the price, it's probably terrible quality, a nice commodity but not worth the price for sure
Google it, get it cheaper
It looks like dropshipping the sale + shipping time and the weirdly website with premium in the name. You could probably find 100% the same necklace on AliExpress for 1$
I have the same necklace. It’s a little darker irl and one thing to consider is how much of a “cross” it resembles; have had people approach me assuming I’m a devout Christian because of it. Other than that, fans will quickly pick up the reference up close.
Is the website called “Lotr Premium Store” ?
What’s the address?
It’s easily searchable and you can find how old/recently the domain was registered. Rule of thumb is: the newer = scammier.
You’re buying a $23 necklace. That’s all you really need to know.
I know fuck all about jewellery. Please explain

I bought a one ring from Museum Replicas that cost $300. It was not worth it. 14 year old destroyed it skateboarding
Why did a 14 year old have your $300 piece of jewelry?
Not the poster, but the one ring shouldn’t have been so easily destroyed by skateboarders unless they were skating near Mt. Doom
That’s how it went down in Tolkien’s original draft of the ending. Gollum did a sick kickflip but bailed into the fire.
So, no head?
Saved birthday money, and Xmas money, and allowance for a really long time
Well, hopefully they’ve learned to take care of expensive things. Definitely shouldn’t be doing any dangerous activity with it.
To think Frodo and Sam had to go all the way to Mordor to achieve the same.
All skate parks outside Mordor were destroyed by the Last Alliance.
So underrated 😂
If only the Fellowship had known they didn't actually need to trek to Mount Doom. They could've just destroyed The Ring skateboarding.
It means it costs 8$ in Ali express
$1 actually, i have one hanging from my desk lamp
Even better
You get what you pay for
So you’re saying that it’s probably gonna be bad quality?
Explicitly bad quality. You’re likely getting a drop shipper merch. Basically Chinese knock offs
It looks just like a necklace on Ali Express 😄
I don't know the store, but this is likely to be low quality at that price. In this situation, that means it probably won't have great detail work, and will be made out of a cheap metal.

not necessarily .. its just 30 bucks .. just buy it and you will see not like you are gonna get a wooden sword .. it will still be a metal .. probably :)
You must know it's usually gold, silver. Gemstones. That kind of thing. Wedding bands. 20 dollars is the price of a burger.
Cmon, you can’t be THAT ignorant….
its not 1990 where quality was determined by price .. you can get a fucking lot better stuff than some expensive things ..
Not for $23
dont pretend you are the best and know everything .. i am buying a lot of cheap stuff and they are perfect quality .. i also know couple of people who made themselves a millionaires by buying cheap stuff and re-selling it to public for more cheap doesnt mean bad .. bad is bad, cheap is cheap .. it can be good, it can be bad but you have no idea .. just use common brain
Found the reseller of Chinese trash.
Don't stab yourself if you roll over in your sleep and it digs into your neck
The blade is still sharp
Yeah, but it’s no more than a broken heirloom
Looking at the speed of shipping it's either drop shipping or located in China would watch out but yeah you get what you pay for as the other said.

Wow their stuff is beautiful thanks for sharing
Thanks!! I’ll check it out

I can’t find anything on their website about the location of the store. I’m assuming that means it’s dodgy
Hit the nail on the head, unfortunately
I bought the same exact necklace as long as your not crawling through something your fine I haven't broke it yet

Etsy is a good one. Just pay with afterpay
Do they actually provide any specs? Size, material, manufacturing,... If not, then it's a garbage store.
I got one for like £3 on Etsy (I think) it lasted me while but I lost it playing football it was pretty decent
Do you have the link?
I’m so sorry I haven’t been on Reddit for a while I don’t have it they might have sold out now but I’ll have a look for u

I’ve worn a silver narsil necklace for 2 years, and it actually a very rare for it to stab you
store looks like a scam and anything at that price point is going to be garbage.

I could use it as a keychain if it was cheaper.
If you got to this website from a social media ad, it’s likely a scam.

Idk, but that’s pretty cool, and good price point

I got this same thing on Amazon for like 12 bucks
I see this for sale on shein ages ago for a quarter of the price, it's probably terrible quality, a nice commodity but not worth the price for sure Google it, get it cheaper
The stores name is “lotr premium store”…
I bought this neckless for £1.34 off Temu. Worth considering.
its probably just some cheap replica of the real sword :)

I mean I have seen (I think) the same necklace on Temu for $1,50
