Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premiers its season 2 in just one week and we can hardly contain our excitement. Season 1 saw the fierce Galadriel hunting the evil Sauron, her quest leading to multiple alliances and even more conflicts in Middle-earth. Meanwhile, the Southlands faced dark forces and mysteries abound when Nori the Harfoot discovered a strange man with even stranger powers. And with season 2 on the horizon, we can't wait to see what will happen-especially now that (SPOILER ALERT!) Halbrand has been revealed to be Sauron. So, in the spirit of beautiful and powerful jewelry, we've decided to imagine what Olivia Ewing Jewelry ring Galadrial, Elrond, Mariel, Nori, and Sauron would wear.

GALADRIAL WOULD STUN WITH A STARBRITE™CUT AND CUSTOM SETTING

Galadriel, the Lady of Light and a warrior elf of unparalleled grace and power, certainly deserves a ring as unique and luminous as her character. For Galadriel, there is no other way but to design her own ring. After all, she needs to make sure it can hold up in battle.

We think she would be particularly drawn to the Cornflower Blue Sapphire with its Starbrite™ cut for its exceptional depth of color and the artistry of its facets. Why? It symbolizes her clear foresight and strategic acumen in brilliant, beautiful, color while the radiance of the Starbrite™ cut, with its intricate patterns of light reflection, would echo Galadriel's complex nature as both a fierce protector and a source of wisdom.

What's more the cornflower blue hue, suggestive of the sky just before twilight, would mirror her ethereal beauty and enduring spirit. And what better setting for Galadriel than the secure Naples Solitaire? Brilliantly inspired by nature, this setting easily draws the eye to the center stone and magnificently ensures its safety for a ring that's perfect for wear-both in and out of battle.

ELROND WOULD OPT FOR PRACTICAL AND STYLISH

In the show, Elrond is typically sporting a look with some type of feathers. Why? His mother was known as Elwing the White and after being forced to give up her sons, Elrond and Elros, and prompted to hand over her Silmaril, she sacrificed herself by jumping into the sea and turning into a white bird. So, it makes sense that Elrond, ever a practical man, would choose a ring that honors his mother while also maintaining a sense of practicality.

The 5mm Plume Ring is a perfect choice. Fashioned from real feathers, this svelte ring features all of the natural grooves and ridges that nature intended while the inside has been polished smooth for a comfortable, every-day wear. And because his mother was a white bird, there's no other choice but white gold for our straight-talking king.

MIRIEL WOULD SPRING FOR SAPPHIRE

Like the blue stone in her diadem, a deep blue sapphire radiates from its central position in the Naples Sapphire Half Halo Ring, perfectly embodying Míriel, the Queen Regent of Númenor’s, essence. This isn't just a piece of jewelry for Míriel. It's more like a reflection of Númenor's majestic seas and skies, a slice of her beloved homeland that she can carry with her.

The ring, with its central sapphire embraced by a crescent of diamonds, mirrors the balance she strives for—between the weight of her crown and the personal sacrifices she makes for her people's well-being. The half halo of diamonds around the sapphire isn't just dazzling; it's reminiscent of the protective circle she aims to cast around Númenor. Amid tensions and the undercurrents of unrest, this ring, much like her leadership, stands out for its beauty and strength. For Míriel, choosing this ring would be a poignant reminder of her deep connection to Númenor and her duty to safeguard its splendor and stability.

NORI WOULD FIND SOMETHING AS ROUGH AND ROWDY AS HER

Oh, Nori? She's the kind who’d pick something like the Verona Rough Montana Sapphire Bezel Ring in a heartbeat. It's as unpolished and real as her adventurous spirit. The rough Montana sapphire, with its untamed beauty, is totally her style—unique and naturally stunning without trying too hard, just like Nori's easy-going but gutsy personality. Plus, the bezel setting? Super sturdy for all her harfoot hijinks!

She digs that the ring’s not fussy—it’s made for tumbling through the underbrush on a daring escapade or scrambling up a tree to gaze at the stars and dream about what’s out there. This ring isn't just a pretty trinket; it’s like a promise to herself. Fear of the unknown won’t hold her back because, just like the ring’s sapphire stands resilient in its rugged elegance, Nori’s ready to face whatever the adventure throws her way. This ring is her badge of courage, her reminder that it's cool to be a bit different, and it's totally okay to leap before you look sometimes.

SAURON WOULD STAY SLEEK

Sure, he's pure evil, but he does have style, and Sauron's pick would totally be the Wells Ring - 5mm. Picture this: It's sleek and unassuming, just like his deceptively simple guise as Annatar, the Lord of Gifts. But don't let the understated design fool you. This ring, like Sauron, is all about power and control, the kind you don't see coming until it's too late.

The clean lines and perfect 5mm band width would appeal to his meticulous obsession with order and dominance. He’s all about that minimalist vibe; why go overboard when you can chill in the background, pulling strings with a ring that says, 'I’ve got this'? Plus, the durability matches his enduring will to rule Middle-earth. And the best part? It’s subtle enough to slide onto the finger of an unwitting ruler or two. Sauron’s all about those long-term plans, and a ring like this is timeless, much like his dark ambition. So yeah, the Wells Ring would be his jam—not too showy, but with a strong presence that whispers, 'I’m the boss.'
