Biography

Enerdhil is described as a lover of all that that grew green in the world. He ever desired to see the sunlight through the leaves of the trees, so he created a great green gem which was beloved by all who looked through it. He apparently gave it to Idril, who in turn gave it to her son Eärendil; from there it is said that it went over the sea with Enerdhil.

Other versions of the legendarium

In earlier versions of the Middle-earth legendarium, the "Elessar gem" was made not by Enerdhil but by Celebrimbor, son of Curufin of Eregion.
