| | Ruin of Doriath |
 | | As they presented the work to Thingol, the lust and charm of the Silmaril overcame the Dwarves, and they decided they should take the Silmaril for themselves, under the excuse that the Nauglamir was not made for Thingol. |
 | | Mablung, a valiant soldier of Doriath, sent a messenger with the Silmaril to Beren and Luthien in Ossiriand before he died defending Menegroth, because of this act, Beren was able to ambush the Dwarves on the return to Nogrod as they crossed the Gelion with a force of Green Elves, but Doriath was lost. |
 | | Beren took the Nauglamir with the Silmaril, and his wife, Thingol’s daughter, Luthien, wore it, and eventually it made its way back to Valinor, but that is another tale. |
