Celeborn and his shaded past

[Inziladun]

This is an interesting old thread, Galin.

The original question was whether Celeborn had spent time in the Blessed Realm, and the answer does seem to be 'no'.
If Celeborn was accounted among the Sindar (as seems likely to me), there is a line from the Silmarillion which would seem to quash the notion of his going to Aman:

Great power Melain lent to Thingol, who was himself great among the Eldar; for he alone of all the Sindar had seen with his own eyes the Trees in the day of their flowering.

Of Thingol and Melian

If Celeborn had been in Aman, I'd think it likely it would have been in the time of the Trees, and it is inconceivable he would have been there and not looked upon them.
