The Sword of Boromir is a replica from the well known movie Lord of the Rings. Boromir was the eldest son of Denethor who was the steward of Gondor. He was considered to be one of the strongest and most skilled swordsman of Gondor. This sword is a replica of the original that was used in the movie created by United Cutlery

This sword is a single-handed powerful, broad and big sword that compliments the powerful Boromir. The blade of the sword is flattened in the shape of a diamond and the fuller is light however although it just stops a few inches away from the tip of the blade it still has its own strength. This blade is powerful enough to slash its opponents who can be protected with heavy armor.

The blade of the sword is made of tempered 420 J2 stainless steel while its edge is false. The handle is made of a solid metal guard and pommel while its finish is brass plated and is complete with a rat-tail tan construction. Part of the official Lord of the Rings swords collection, this sword comes along with a certificate of authentication.

Dolphin Necklaces for Your Daughter or Wife

Really aesthetic dolphin pendants are a passion of mine. I go on business trips to the Caribbean from time to time and when I’m there I haunt the local shops for pretty representations of these marvelous marine mammals. I’ve managed to delight the women in my family several times with my finds, but I wanted to mention the American artist who seems to have captured their essence. Her name is Merry Rosenfield, and if I’m not mistaken, she is very much an animal lover!

Her other precious metal pendants have a lot her trademark whimsy in them as well. They are not “cutesy,” but they capture a love of nature and wild animals I’ve seldom seen in modern jewelry making. From the sterling silver necklace pendants representing insects, to the sterling silver jewellery with lots of dog breeds, wildlife or other animals, I think she has captured the essence of life in wearable art. My hat is off to you, dear artist!

By the way, I’ve sent quite a few people to this site, and from all reports there have been no disappointments yet.

If you are getting married you may be thinking of getting your wedding bands in traditional yellow or white gold. If you have a bit more money in your budget, perhaps you are considering platinum. But titanium?

Many people think of Titanium as a strong metal that may be used in a military aircraft or a human joint replacement. Titanium is the element Ti on chemistry periodic table. It is this strength that should recommend it in a wedding band which will be worn daily.

Besides traditional uses in wedding, Titanium also possesses various properties that allow it to become popular in the fashion jewelry industry. For example, tension set diamond rings in the form of an open circle with a diamond mounted in the openings is one of the most sought after designs that not many metals can be used in. Also, Titanium reacts with different chemicals in electrolytic solutions and turns into different colors such as green and blue, a process called anodization. So it can be many colors – offering more choices.
