OK, in limmerick form:
Like spears in a row, Not only for show, My bane strung them along, But my revenge was still strong, For his gift was what brought him down low! |

correct!!!
the necklace of girion given by girion to the dwarves under the mountain for a suit of mithril mail for his eldest son... later given back to bard (girion's descendent) by dain as part of bilbo's fourteenth... and bard then gave it to the king of the woodelves for his help during the smaug's destruction of laketown and the battle of five armies

Nope - the bane isn't the One Ring... I was trying to be a bit more subtle... but to give a hint, Christiana has been beatin' about the right bush, so to speak. Brownjenkins... bah! Nothing too hard for us trivia-geeks! SOMEbody would get it eventually (even if I gotta look it up!) |

When you say Christiana has been beating about the right bush, do you mean she was close? |
