I meant to ask in my last post but forgot: does anyone have a real idea of the size of the Silmarils? I originally thought they were something along the size of a palantír because of the references to the light within them. But if Fëanor "would wear them, blazing on his brow" that's not possible. The size of a really large diamond perhaps?

Edited to fix a typo.
