Eregion I see as more akin to First Age Nargothrond: impressive in graceful strength, but more "industrial", owing to the Noldorin focus on crafting.
Legolas noted that he could "hear" the stone of Eregion recalling the Noldor, but that to himself they were "strange".

x/d with Kuru
Isn't it possible since Celebrimbor was the maker of the rings, he too could have used his powers on Eregion? Maybe not the whole of the realm, but Ost-In-Edhil and it's surroundings nearby?

And by the way, Nargothrond was a underground fortress right? Ost-In-Edhil is not, so since you said it has that graceful strength and were industrial, maybe it's similar to Minas Tirith.
