Yes, in Dublin, Ireland, there is a real jewellery shop called 'Gollum's Precious'.

The name is a bit creepy methinks... you might buy something and find the owner would stalk you for years before trying to reclaim the item by amputating the relevant bodypart (so don't get a necklace!) and you'd have to shove them in a volcano to get away... Presumably shoplifters are pursued by orcses....

Or you could address a speculative letter to S. Gollum, Esq. - I seem to remember after he got a letter from a Mr S. Gamgee, Tolkien wondered how he would deal with one from anyone of that name!
