It definitely couldn't be those three, because they have Elvish names (see question 3).
I don't think it can be any of the other Great Rings, because
Mithalwen responded to the Feanor question with 'neither known to be or likely to be'. We know
exactly who made the Great Rings (and Saruman's ring for that matter), so they wouldn't just be 'not likely' - they definitely weren't made by Feanor! The only other notable ring I can think of is Barahir's, which
could be Feanor's work - but was extant in the First Age (see question 5).

I didn't look at shields because I didn't consider them as 'worn', but they kind of are, aren't they? Gil-Galad notably has a silver one, but that's not attested in the Third Age. Other than that...
... well, there's a fair few people noted as
having shields, but how many do we know for sure they're not wooden? There are 22 instances of 'shield' in
The Hobbit, for instance, and aside from the numerous 'Oakenshield's, none of them specify a material. So would Mith firmly state that it's not wooden if we didn't know for sure?
