Well, there's more than one way to tell an interesting story. Without the Bakshi cartoon we wouldn't have viking Boromir, without Jackson's adaptation we wouldn't have Sean Bean in a strawberry-blonde wig. Neither adaptation looked like Boromir, and both portrayed Boromir differently from Tolkien, yet they worked within the context of the adaptations.
Using something Elrond was given as a token of friendship to go into the making of 2 rings the friends receive will cement the friendship between them. But what do I know? I'm just making guesses of what I think would be an interesting story.
