SYDNEY - Replicas, rubber and the sacred ring itself - for Tolkien fans this exhibition may well be the Holy Grail.
Boasting more than 650 exhibits, including a five metre replica of a cave troll, Galadriel's gossamer gown and all three Rings of Power, the Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy Exhibition is a sight to behold.

The exhibition's centrepiece -- the ring itself -- has a tale all of its own.
Forty actual rings were made for filming, and none bore an elfish inscription - that was added post-production.
It also was one of the last commissions of New Zealand jeweller Jens Hansen before he died.
