Re: the aesthetic, I am completely prepared to believe Melkor wanted the Silmarils because they were the only jewels that complemented his complexion 🙂

Would you say my complexion was… dazzling? Like the crystal of diamonds but more strong than adamant? Rejoicing in light and giving it back in hues more marvelous than before? Filling all with wonder and delight, whose radiance sets a gnawing fire in the hearts of those who desire it?
Because you don’t need to be shy about it, you can get poetic, I don’t mind. Please, talk about my skin more! You have very refined tastes, I can tell.
