Now, now, let's not get down on men...if it were passed down amongst elves it would probably have been called the "Ring of Finrod" but since it was passed down to Barahir's heirs it makes sense to me to call it the Ring of Barahir. It was probably called that because they were proud that an ancestor of theirs was given such a ring by a great Elven Prince...at least I like to think so..(glass half-full and all).

The ring was freely given to Barahir by Finrod and I believe was made in Valinor, which in itself makes it quite an article for the Edain to have.

Finrod Felagund's Ring! It was preeeeety...
It said in Unfinished Tales (I think) about Arvedui and the ring and all. Or maybe that was an appendix. Or something. Lanelf.

Well if Finrod gave the ring to Barahir and his house then it would no longer be his ring. Besides it wasn't really a famous artifact until it was associated with Barahir and Beren.

Yes, he had a ring. I think it's an heirloom from the line in Elendil and Isildur, or maybe it's a gift or something he collected from his travels as a ranger.
