To me, the doom of the Noldor was sealed when Feanor first began to forge the Silmarils, that is, the Great Jewels. But it seems that more than just the doom of the Noldor were tied to them, anyone and anything who was involved in that Saga, even unto Morgoth himself, was doomed to play some role in the existence of the Jewels. '..and Mandos foretold that fates of Arda, earth, sea, and air; lay locked within them.'
