I don't think so Nilpaurion. Eonwe would not have let Maedhros and Maglor get the Silmarils just to prove a point. In the Silmarillion it is said that Eonwe would only yield the jewels from his charge to the Valar, as it is whence it came from in the beginning. So the jewels were Eonwe's responsibility and while he may not have known about the fates of the Silmaril he certainly was partially at fault.

The Silmarils were not just a side issue after all they continued the light of the Two Trees, possibly the greatest creation of the Valar in the realm of Arda.
