The media could not be loaded. I’ve ordered the real cheap Arwen Evenstar pendants in the past and just buy a new one when they become discolored or break. Well, I decided it’s time to order a high quality replica of the Evenstar pendant. I ordered from a few different companies from Amazon looking for the best high quality pendant . I got this Evenstar Pendant necklace from JO Wisdom and was truly shocked at how well made and highly detailed the pendant is!! The sparkle is amazing and has a very high shine and the stones shine like Swarovski Crystal. It’s small and measures approximately .3/4 in W x 1.1/4 in long. It’s much smaller compared to all others I’ve purchased in the past but the quality and shine is beautiful! I also purchased the Evenstar necklace/pendant from the Noble Collection. I’m glad I did because I could see the difference right away on detail, quality and cost. This review is a comparison of both. I apologize as I kept saying 9.25 Sterling silver in the video when .925 is correct.The Jo Wisdom feels solid, very detailed, all stones are very well clasped in and has more thickness to the entire pendant. The pendant is .925 sterling silver. The silver has a little bit of a darker color to it compared to the other pendant in this review so mabye the JO one is solid sterling silver? I’ve added a video for reference between these pendants from both companies I purchased from. I do want to correct what I mentioned in the video about materials used. Both companies say .925 sterling silver but if you scroll down on each description page to “jewelry information” the JO Wisdom list by “materials”...Sterling Silver and stones as CZ but on Noble Collection there’s nothing listed in this section other than “not applicable” and there’s no stone information....but Noble Collection does list further up towards the top in the description it’s .925 Sterling Silver. I wanted to make that correction. Update: 10-19-21....I have a Amazon review on the Noble Collection pendant as well and some time after my review they did add under “materials” .925 Sterling Silver.The Noble Collection Evenstar pendant comes with a little authenticity card stating being authorized by New Line Cinema. It is nice when first looking at it and has a silver shine that’s lighter in color than this one from JO wisdom. After looking at comparison between both pendants the one from Noble Collection isn’t as detailed and after looking at the back of the pendant there’s a copper, brass, paint or some type of material showing behind each stone. Also the stones are not clasped in but glued on or possibly soldered on. The difference in silver color between the two makes me think the Noble Collection may be silver plated? The clasp that holds the pendant on the chain isn’t thick like the one on JO wisdom. The pendant is also slightly bent. I was expecting a much better quality pendant from the Noble Collection than what I received! Please refer to the video for comparison. The Noble Collection does have nice items but they are for sure lacking quality with this necklace.The chains from both companies are very dainty so I ordered the exact replica chain that Froto wore “the one ring” on in the movie. I ordered that chain straight from the Jens Hansen website who made the original one ring. It’s very sturdy, sterling silver, better thickness and a perfect fit with both pendants. You can of course order a different chain from wherever but I wanted everything to be all LOTR items. .My only complaint is I wish the JO Wisdom Evenstar pendant wasn’t small and was the size of the Noble Collection and other replica pendants. I like the larger pendant that’s 2.1/4 in long but if you’ve ordered one of the cheap pendants which are always bigger but prefer a smaller version I would for sure suggest this Evenstar pendant from JO Wisdom. You won’t be disappointed!!Hope this comparison helps those wondering the difference. Ther Evenstar Pendant is higher in price from the Noble Collection and to be honest the JO Wisdom Evenstar pendant is by far much better in quality, detail and shine! Check out my video and decide for yourself:-). Happy Shopping!!One last thing....when looking at the Noble Collection pendant it puts off a yellowish tint that you can see in the pic I added for a side by side comparison. The yellowish tint I’m assuming is due to whatever material was added behind each stone. You do not see this with the JO Wisdom pendant as there is no other materials behind each stone. I’m not the best at videos especially when my two cats Arwen and Drogo want to help. Lol....but I hope this helps:-))
