The elements themselves

a few thoughts ,
Maybe the powercame from Fire,Water and Air?
we now know that the latent power in 'simple' substances is immense, so perhaps the gwaith -i- mirdain tapped into this elemental level and then [again possibly] as a group created the rings. A group being more powerful perhaps than any individual elf-smith , keeping in mind also that Celebrimbor was the only son of Curufin who is said to have nherited most of his father's skill, of which even a small bit was immense I would imagine.
