Behold, the Evenstar! "Then she [Galadriel] lifted from her lap a great stone of a clear green, set in a silver brooch that was wrought in the likeness of an eagle with outspread wings; and as she held it up the gem flashed like the sun shining through the leaves of spring. 'This stone I gave to Celebrian my daughter, and she to hers [Arwen]; and now it comes to you as a token of hope. In this hour take the name that was foretold for you, Elessar, the Elfstone of the House of Elendil!'" - Farewell to Lorien, The Fellowship of the Ring 👉🏻Geek fact: the gem was actually never named in the book and not mentioned again after this moment. But the films chose to further use it as a visual symbol of Aragorn and Arwen's love and commitment, and called it Evenstar, which IS another part of Arwen's name in the books ("...Queen Arwen Evenstar..."). 👩🏫 . . This is my birthday present from @tian_en, and it finally arrived!! It certainly travelled far and wide across the lands and seas... 😅 LOVE IT 🥰 Thank you @tian_en ! #lotr #evenstar #evenstarnecklace https://www.instagram.com/p/CQDlbzYHpd_/?utm_medium=tumblr
