Who made it? In the book of unfinished tales it says at first that enerdhil made it and that the original was brought back with gandalf. The second version says that enerdhil made it and that celebrimbor made a second one for galadrial (and he also says he was from gondolin which is interesting because in the silmarillian it says that he went with his father to nargothrond). And in the third version it says that celebrimbor made it (he still lives in gondolin) and also made the second one.
I dont know about anyone else, but this is confusing. Celebrimbor definitly seems the most likely, but in the silmarillion it never says he went to gondolin and in the book of unfinished tales tolkien says that enerdhil was the greater of the two.

Sorry if this is confusing, but I need help.
