Plus smialS, for SilmarilS. It says hobbit dwellingS.
Not all the answers are jewels. I would have liked to keep the theme as tight as that, but it's often not possible to do that and also have the letters form a password. I quite like the way the theme and answers turned out, though.
I trust you located the mariner's emerald? It's mentioned in a song.
1. Dwarves have never taken to these.
2. It betrays in the roundest manner.
Silmarils: Narnian prince begins to reside in hobbit dwellings? Such a mingling! See them shine!
4. Heavenly start to December contrives to shield a mariner’s sword.
Emerald: Leader in disarray gains a thousand: a jewel to adorn a steersman.
6. Lalaith in the dark land? Serves quarrellers right, some might say!
7. Objects of heavenly beings impersonating Miss Nightingale?
Arkenstone: Sounds like Noah’s vessel cast in granite! Resplendent thing.
9. Day’s opposite becomes null, in song.
10. Happy days, and light ones.
