[Androthelm]

Was this gift given due to the relationship between the giver and receiver? (father to son, etc)

[Dwim]

Was this gift also given in the Third Age?

[Eamila Bolger]

9. @Androthelm Well, relationship is a very wide concept of course: there's family and friends but also boss - worker or even friend - foe. In the end we all relate to others in some way. But I think I can say yes here. Yes, this gift was given due to the relationship between the giver and receiver.
10. No, this gift was not given in the Third Age.

[Eamila Bolger]

Good question!
11. No, this gift was not only exchanged between members of the same race.

[Drífa]

Would this be Ring of Barahir, the gift and token of Finrod Felagund, that was handed down for generations?

[Eamila Bolger]

No, I am sorry, this is not the ring of Barahir, as that one was still there in the Third Age.

Would you like an extra hint? You guys are so close!

[Eldy Dunami]

Is this gift the dove's-egg-sized pearl Nimphelos, given by Círdan to Thingol and in turn by Thingol to "the chieftain of the Dwarves of Belegost [who] prized it above a mountain of wealth"?

[Eamila Bolger]

YES! You found it, @Eldy Dunami , congratulations!
It was given more than once, from race to race.
One there was as great as a dove's egg, and its sheen was as starlight on the foam of the sea; Nimphelos it was named...
It must have been a happy time, in which Elves and Dwarves together, each with their own skill, there wrought out the visions of Melian, images of the wonder and beauty of Valinor beyond the sea.

You are next, Eldy Dunami!

[Dwim]

Aaah drats everything was so quiet I thought I had time to ask that question, and if the answer was yes I was going to guess Nimphelos too. Well done, Eldy!

[Eldy Dunami]

Thank you, Eamila Bolger (and Dwim)! That was a really good round; I had to go for a deep dive into The Silmarillion even with the benefit of sixteen already-answered questions.

Next: What am I?
Clue: Symbol

[Eamila Bolger]

I so know that feeling @Dwimmerlaik , sometimes you just want to ask one more question to be sure and then your too late, lol!

Does this symbol stand for the name of this item?

[Drífa]

Well done, Eldy!

Are you on a shield?

[Eldy Dunami]

1. I might be misinterpreting your question, but no, this item is both a physical object and a symbol of a larger concept(s).
2. No, we're not told of any instances of this object/symbol being depicted on a shield.
