Well, I might be able to explain one part. When it says all of the jewels were taken, maybe it means jewels as in little shiny precious stones, which the Palantari (is it Palantari or Palantiri, I'm not sure) wouldn't be considered. Of course, that would bring up the whole discussion on the size of the Palantari [whether they are little precious stone sized, or basketball sized], but, that's all I have time for now. (I only have limited internet access at the time being)
