One Ring to Rule Them All...

A silver bracelet given to me by my husband with the inscription that was written on the 'One Ring' from the epic tale "Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien. The letters are Elvish, but the language is that of Mordor according to the wizard Gandalf the Gray. Translated, the inscription says:

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."
