Names and descriptions of the Three Rings
*
Narya, The Ring of Fire, set with a
ruby; originally worn by
Círdan, who gave it to
Gandalf.
*
Nenya, The Ring of Water, also called the Ring of Adamant, made of
mithril with a shimmering white stone; originally worn by Celebrimbor himself but given to
Galadriel
*
Vilya, The Ring of Air,
gold with a
sapphire stone; originally worn by
Gil-galad but given to
Elrond.
They remained hidden and their whereabouts were seldom revealed.
Frodo Baggins learned that Nenya was worn by
Galadriel, who used it to protect
Lórien from attack. Frodo later carelessly revealed this to
Aragorn, who reprimanded him for doing so.
The other two rings were revealed at the end of the Third Age, after Frodo destroyed the
One Ring, and the Dark Lord Sauron was completely overthrown. It transpired that
Elrond had wielded
Vilya and
Gandalf had wielded
Narya.
After the defeat of Sauron, the bearers of the Three Rings left Middle Earth, the power of their rings now gone owing to them being bound up with the One Ring.
