Nimphelos

 

Nimphelos

In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, Nimphelos was a valuable pearl given by Thingol to the Dwarves from Belegost as a reward in building Menegroth.

It was probably fished from Belegaer by Círdan's folk, who gave it to the King of Doriath as a gift.

The pearl was said to be as big as a dove's egg.
