I am assuming that maybe they ordered from elsewhere?
And just assumed it came from here?
Because I got mine in the mail and I looked it over and it's gorgeous.
The gems/diamonds whatever, I am not an expert on jewelry,
do NOT look glued on and I even tried to remove them from
the pendant and I couldn't get them off.
The size is NOT overwhelming but that's just me.
Perhaps that's personal taste. However,
I bought this for my mother because she is a huge fan of Lord Of The Rings.
She has read every book that's exists,
(including the Silmarilion.) and
I bought this with the expectation that she wouldn't wear
it on a continuous basis.
This is meant to be a collectors item for those who are
huge fans of both the books and the film production.
I did as much research on the product before pay as I possibly could find.
I find it hard to believe that the production company,
"NewLine Cinema" would endorse something that was made cheap
but sold for hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars.
If I had my way and could afford it, I would've gladly bought her Gandalf's
sword instead, however that is FAR more expensive. Obviously you wouldn't
just carry a real, heavy, and delicate sword around with you.
It's also considered an actual weapon so taking it to certain
public places would get you into some trouble. So I figured, start small,
let's go with Arwen's Pendant. I know regardless, my mother will more
than appreciate it when she opens it Christmas morning.
If you're someone who wants to wear this regularly, that's totally fine.
But when you purchase something like this,
you have to remember that it was replicated and
crafted for those who mean to collect this sort of thing. Not use it regularly.
So for those who claim it broke, that could be why.
Of course I don't know if this one I bought could break.
That is possible. But I am just saying it doesnt look cheap
and it's not particularly "easy" to break since I attempted it.
It's beautifully crafted and weighs in perfectly, not too heavy,
but not too light either. The chain isn't very long, some claimed it was too long.
Mine is particularly short. I actually wish it was a bit longer, but that's alright.
I tried bending it, wouldn't even budge, the chain seems a bit scary.
I had me a cross my mother got me for Christmas. And even though
it was custom made, real gold, etc the chain snapped when
I went to take off my shirt one day. So even product that's made from
real gold or silver can break. Not saying that's acceptable, because it's not,
but just saying that anything is possible no matter what.
So this chain has the same compacity of my chain that broke some years ago.
But like I already said, this really isn't meant for every day use.
So just keep remembering that. This product is sold by a collectable website.
I decided to buy it through Amazon because I have a student account
with free shipping and I trust Amazon to help me out with a terrible
product that I want to return. Plus it helped make my purchase a little
cheaper since I didn't buy it straight from The Noble Collection.
But I don't want to return this, not even a little bit.
Despite there being other websites to buy this from for cheaper,
I spent more, because of all the evidence that pointed to an actual
piece that would be well-crafted and great for collecting. If it
would've showed up at my door not looking up to par, than
I would expect NewLine Cinema wouldn't endorse it anymore since it is
one of the biggest production companies of Hollywood. I wanted something that
looked exactly like it came from the movie (despite that it didn't) and would
last long enough. I am incredibly happy for my purchase. No one has any
idea how excited I am for my mother to open this on Christmas Day.
It's a well-deserved present for her. So if you're someone who is nervous
about purchasing this product due to quality, don't let the negative
comments scare you away. It's perfectly fine. And if I am wrong, and you
are not satisfied, that's whybyou go through Amazon to make sure your
refund goes according to plan. :) enjoy
