The Three represent Celebrimbor's finest work. But I don't know that they are connected to him in the way that the One is connected to Sauron. To destroy the Ring reduces Sauron to a shadow of malice. The Ring therefore isn't just his creation, it's effectively an extension of himself. If the Three were connected to Celebrimbor in a similar fashion, could he bear to give them away or have others use them?

With respect to Yavanna and Feanor, is their connection to their works the same as Sauron's? Yavanna is not destroyed by the destruction of the Trees and if the Yavanna had thought for one second that Feanor would actually die if he unlocked the Silmarils would she have requested it of him?
