The Symbolic Meaning Behind Arwen’s Necklace in The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings is dominated by dangerous quests, exceedingly powerful wizards and terrifying, spider-filled locations. Yet, the fate of Middle-earth hung in the balance because of a single, missing piece of jewelry. In fact, Frodo’s covert mission to destroy the One Ring was the premise of the whole franchise. However, for those who aren’t overly familiar with the lore, the ring of Sauron wasn’t the only important piece of jewelry. Besides the One Ring, there were 19 other Rings of Power, the Nauglamír, the Ring of Barahir and the Star of Elendil. Of those, the Ring of Barahir was the only one that appeared in The Lord of the Rings films, because Peter Jackson decided to focus on another piece of jewelry that belonged to Arwen. This object was the Evenstar, and its importance was based on a central romance.Jackson made a few changes to author J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, among them, replacing Glorfindel with Arwen in The Fellowship of the Ring. It was a way to give her character more screen time while also accentuating her Elven power in evading the Nazgûl. One of the other ways Jackson highlighted Arwen was by giving her a beautiful piece of jewelry that never existed in Tolkien’s story — the Evenstar necklace.
