Silmaril Mixed Blood

It was said that the Princes of Dol Amroth were descended from Imrazor - a Man of Numenorean descent who lived in Belfalas - and Mithrellas - an Elf of Lothlorien who came to Belfalas with Nimrodel.

The father of Elrond was Earendil the Mariner and their mother was Elwing. Earendil was Half-elven: his mother Idril was an Elf and his father Tuor was a Man. Elwing's mother Nimloth was an Elf and her father Dior was the son of Beren – a Man – and Luthien – the daughter of an Elf and a Maia. Thus Elrond and Elros were descended from both Elves and Men and were counted among the Half-elven, or Peredhil.

What do we know of the half elves? It was said that the people of Dol Amroth had elf blood in their veins, but how come they were not blessed with long life? Elrond was given a choice to choose between immortality and a short life, did the descedents of Nimrodel have the same choice?
