This topic was brought up in chat tonight, and as a result, I'm adding this post for a couple of reasons.

First of all, it's an awesome discussion and perhaps could be hashed out a bit more (at least, I certainly hope so after I ask my question).

Secondly, the immediately aforementioned question: Galadriel is a key character in many of the above posts, as is her femininity, or lack thereof in taking her Ring as "wife," so to speak. My query lies in this: did she acquire her decoration before or after she conceived/gave birth to Celebrian? Would it have debilitated her ability to conceive after she had had it for a long time (say, circa LotR)?

Depending on the answer, I think some of the viewpoints in this thread may have some additional fodder to throw about.
