While Celebrimbor forged the Three Rings alone in Eregion, they were moulded by Sauron's craft and were bound to the One. Only after Sauron's defeat, when the One Ring was cut from his finger at the end of the Second Age, did the Elves begin to actively use the Three to ward off the decay brought by time.
Celebrimbor forged the three Elven Rings, named Nenya, Narya, and Vilya, guided by Sauron's persuasion. Sauron (in disguise) told him that by forging these Rings, the Elves would be given new powers and would be able to transform Middle-earth. But what happened after the Rings were forged?
The Three Rings of the Elves were forged by Celebrimbor alone, and were never touched by Sauron. They were made last, however, and their forging involved some of the arts taught by "Annatar". Thus they too were bound to the One Ring to some extent.
Sauron (Sala Baker) directly made only one of the 20 rings, the famed "one ring to rule them all," although he assisted in the creation of the nine rings for mortal men and the seven rings for the dwarves. The three rings for the elven-kings were forged alone by Celebrimbor, with knowledge obtained from Sauron.
The Keepers of the Three Rings were those who held the Three Rings of the Elves after their making, through more than 4,000 years of the Second and Third Ages. Originally the three Keepers were Gil-galad, Galadriel, and Círdan. Gil-galad gave his Ring to Elrond and Círdan gave his to Gandalf.
The Elves made the Three Rings to try to halt the passage of time, or as Tolkien had Elrond say, "to preserve all things unstained". This was seen most clearly in Lothlórien, which was free of both evil and the passage of time.
Though Galadriel doesn't share her news, Elrond is suspicious and wanders out to find the genealogy scroll that leads him to figure out that Halbrand is Sauron. Unfortunately, he finds this news too late, arriving back at the workshop just as the elven rings (the rings of power) are being completed.
The Three were untouched by Sauron in their making and were made for preservation so they didn't negatively affect their bearers.
Another aspect that the series explores is the decision to forge three rings. As Galadriel, Celebrimbor, and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) discuss after the process has already started, it is a way of preventing the concentration of power in a single being's hands.
After he was attacked by the orcs, they transported his lifeless body to Mordor at Sauron's behest. Sauron revived Isildur with one of the nine rings, and then tortured him until his spirit was broken and he became a Nazgûl.
While the previous 19 rings were crafted with the help of the Elves, the final ring, the 'One Ring to rule them all,' was crafted by Sauron alone; with the ability to dominate the other rings, the One Ring was made with some of Sauron's own power, in order to make it more powerful.
To avoid the loss of their immortality and the death of their race, Galadriel, Elrond, and Celebrimbor proceed to forge the Rings of Power, even though both Galadriel and Elrond understand the evil Sauron's involvement.
Galadriel has very strong magical powers, and she is said to be the greatest of the Ñoldor after Fëanor. The majority of her powers come from her Ring of Power, Nenya, the Ring of Water.
No, Thranduil does not have a ring of power in The Hobbit. There are three Elven rings of power, and they are worn by Elrond, Galadriel, and Cirdan. All three are powerful rulers in the Elven Kingdom. Thranduil, as the King of the Woodland Realm, is not considered important enough to possess a ring.
Celebrimbor died from his torment; his body, shot with arrows, was then hung upon a pole and used by Sauron's forces like a banner on the battlefield.
But in Tolkien's text, the three elven rings were among the last rings to be forged, after Celebrimbor had already grown suspicious of Sauron and decided to work without him. One thing we can be sure of: The three rings are key to resisting Sauron's influence and aiding in the quest to destroy his One Ring.
She's an Elf, So Has a Very Long Lifespan
The first and most obvious reason Galadriel gets to hang on to her Ring – Nenya, the Ring of Water – from beginning (i.e. its forging) to end (the destruction of the One Ring) is that she lives long enough to do so.
Because of their intense love of the earth, the Ring does not sense hobbits as a threat, which is why they were able to be overlooked and complete the quest.
In Valinor, Gandalf was called Olórin. He was one of the Maiar of Valinor, specifically, one of the people of the Vala Manwë; he was said to be the wisest of the Maiar. He was closely associated with two other Valar: Irmo, in whose gardens he lived, and Nienna, the patron of mercy, who gave him tutelage.
She already feels an outcast after Gil-galad tried to send her back to the Undying Lands, and she fears that if she reveals what she has done, it will be the final nail in the coffin. Instead, when Elrond pulls her from the river Glanduin, and she races back inside to Celebrimbor's forge, she chooses to stay silent.
In The Lord of the Rings, it is said that had Galadriel chosen to use her powers for evil instead of good, she would have been even more destructive and terrifying than Sauron himself. Galadriel was the greatest and most powerful of all Elves in Middle Earth in the Third Age.
It was as if the Ring had granted him a vision of what could happen if the great Elf were to wield its power. Jackson, on the other hand, used Galadriel's dark form as a visual cue for the audience. Specifically, it represented how she would become evil if she gave in to her deepest desire.
It was part of Sauron's scheme to ensnare and enslave the users of all the rings of power and so control the Noldor of Middle-earth. Sauron planned for the domination of all of Middle-earth and he needed/wanted to control the Elves to complete this plan. This was the reason for the forging of the One Ring.
