hmmm

-Silmarils? wait wait! hear me out! only items not given as gifts at some point. see my reasoning

-the arkenstone was given to thorin oakenshield (well, his tomb) by bard
-vilya was given to Elrond from Gil-Galad
-Sting and the MIthril vest given to frodo from bilbo
-ring of barahir was a gift to barahir from finrod

now the silmarils, made by feanor, were never really given. only recovered through war. And even stolen by Maedhros and Maglor. so there!
