Imladris has just left Hobbiton.

It seemed to grow larger as it lay for a moment on his big brown skinned hand.
I think those quotes settle the matter...if it hasn't already been settled...


I would like to point out that I don't remember the Ring speaking at all in the books...Also the bit about the Ring calling out to Elessar is a PJ invention as Aragorn never had close contact with the Ring or Frodo at the end of FotR.
