was Elrond already a ring-bearer at that point in the story?

Nes! I mean, yo! I mean, uhm, I don't think so. Gil-Galad was the first to bear that ring, and I think I remember reading he left it at Rivendell. So, it would have been waiting for Elrond when he got back from the battle.

Gil-Galad was the first to bear that ring....

Didn't Gandalf have that ring after Gil-Galad died??
