Silmaril

Elves took tradition very seriously, living for thousands of years one would think they had too. they never removed their wedding ring. In HoME X there is a huge essay on traditions amoung the elves. It says that engagement they gave each other silver band rings. Then at the wedding these were swapped back and treasured by the other. In replacement they got gold band rings. In which case elves that are married need silver rings on a chain and a gold ring on the left hand. But none of these are visible in the movie!
