Well there are the obvious paralels with the Silmarils and their links with the elements Water, Air, and Fire, and the particular skills of their owners, you might want to make reference also to the Elessar since that was also made by Celebrimbor. That is just off the top of my head but your topic touches on something I am currently researching for myself so I will PM you if anything strikes me as I proceed with that.
