...By this ring-
the token of a lasting bond
that Felagund of Nargothrond
once swore in love to Barahir,
who sheltered him with shield and spear
and saved him from pursuing foe
on Northern battlefields long ago-
death thou canst give unearned to me,
but names I will not take from thee
of baseborn, spy, or Morgoth's thrall!
Are these the ways of Thingol's hall?
Proud are the words, and all there turned
to see the jewels green that burned
in Beren's ring. These Gnomes [Elves] had set
as eyes of serpents twined that met
beneath a golden crown of flowers,
that one upholds and one devours:
the badge that Finrod [Finarfin] made of yore
and Felagund his son now bore.

...His words were proud, and all eyes looked upon the ring; for he held it now aloft, and the green jewels gleamed there that the Noldor had devised in Valinor.

Only the Ring of Barahir father of Beren One-hand survived the Downfall; for it was given by Tar-Elendil to his daughter Silmarien and was preserved in the House of the Lords if Andúnië, of whom the last was Elendil the Faithful who fled from the wrack of Númenor to Middle-earth.

After Arvedui the North-kingdom ended, for the D�nedain were now few and all the people of Eriador diminished. Yet the line of the kings was continued by the Chieftains of the D�nedain, of whom Aranthar son of Arvedui was the first. Arahael his son was fostered in Rivendell, and so were all the sons of the chieftains after him; and there also were kept the heirlooms of their house: the ring of Barahir, the shards of Narsil, the star of Elendil, and the sceptre of Ann�minas.
