A fourth Silmaril?

A What If:

The three Silmarils made by Feanor from the light of the two Trees could be said to finally represent three of the elements: Earth, water, fire.
Could there not have been a fourth, ending up representing air? That would of course correspond to the division made by the old Greeks, and I think that parallel was never really Tolkiens intention anyway.
But what if there had been a fourth? Would two each of them be made of the light from a certain Tree?

It´s late here...
