In answer to Silmiel's question: The elves had probably grown attached to the objects they had held for almost, what is it, over 500 years. Widows or widowers sometimes hold on to the ring of their marriage that recently ended to remind them of it. And besides, don't you think it would be wise to keep it with you in case they were to be the object of attempts to gain power?
