Do you think the Silmarils actually enhanced his effect upon Arda?

Well...I remember some quote from the Silmarillion, when Luthien wore the Silmaril, set in the Necklace of the Dwarves, "no Elf would dare assail her."
It was only when the Silmaril passed to Dior that the sons of Feanor rose up again.
I'd always thought that it was power of Luthien + power of Sil = unassailable.

But maybe it was just the power of Luthien herself.

Maybe it was because Luthien was so beloved by the elves, that the Sons Of Feanor feared more the backlash, and were willing to wait their time, than be utterly vanquished by those who would be outraged by any assault.
