Elrond bore Vilya the ring of Air. It was surrendered to him by Gil-Galad at his death after fighting Sauron. Elrond's father Earendil was doomed by the Valar to sail his ship in the sky bearing the last Silmaril as a star. Earendil is the brightest and most beloved star of the elves. (Bilbo wrote a song about Earendil, it's in FOTR chapter Many Meetings) It seems fitting that Elrong should bear the ring comemmorating the remaining Silmaril and his father as well does ot not??
