In fact, I asked a similar question several months back. For me, it opens up a fun, Would You Rather question. If the Noldor were allowed to return only as far as Tol Eressea and not return to Valinor, were the Noldor killed in the First Age better off long term than those, like Galadriel, who survived but can never completely return? I was thinking specifically of Galadriel, since The Sil makes mention of how Finrod now spends his days walking with Finarfin in Tirion, while she would never again be permitted to do so. Not that Tol Eressea is a dump or anything, but it's not home for the Noldor either. Suppose Galadriel finally tired of Tol Eressea and longed to live with her parents and brothers again. Would she be better off committing suicide, serving her time in Mandos, then joining them in Tirion? For these reasons, I like to think that the Exiles do indeed get to return to Tirion
As three great Jewels they were in form. But not until the End, when Fëanor shall return who perished ere the Sun was made, and sits now in the Halls of Awaiting and comes no more among his kin; not until the Sun passes and the Moon falls, shall it be known of what substance they were made. Like the crystal of diamonds it appeared, and yet was more strong than adamant, so that no violence could mar it or break it within the Kingdom of Arda.
