I first read this trilogy as a teenager in the 70's. I was enthralled by the Hobbits and always thought about living in the Shire. My necklace design fulfills my teenager dreams of living in the Shire...thus a necklace with the key to my own little home amongst the peace loving hobbits.
"There were a few Hobbits of a more adventurous nature who traveled beyond the borders of the Shire into the wide world. The most notable of these was Bilbo Baggins, who embarked on the quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug the Dragon in 2941. It was on this journey that Bilbo found the One Ring, an event that had a profound effect on the Shire and all of Middle-earth"........ quoted from the website
