Yes there is the possibility that it was made and given to Idril in Beleriand (Though I think it is unlikely - it is said about the second Elessar that Celebrimbor made that "He bagan
a long and delicate labour..." - As stated above I think the timespan is too short)
The Elessar could not have been made in Aman since the Elessar was a stone wherein the light of the Sun should be imprisoned. (You need a Sun raise before you can see the sun)

Im sorry for my ignorance in failure to understand where you are going with this last remark? Could you explain? <img src=smile.gif ALT="
