![]() So yes, it appears wearing the Rings was necessary in order to use them, and to be dominated by Sauron via them. Him and they knew him, and perceived that he would be master of them,Īnd of all that they wrought. From The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age:Īs soon as Sauron set the One Ring upon his finger were aware of Must physically be worn in order to utilise their power.Įvidently so. I am assuming that the Three are like the One in the sense that they It's implied, though not explicit, that Sam could see the Three at this time. So it may also be that either Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf had used their powers to hide the Three, or the Three had an equivalent power that could be turned on and off, and Galadriel chose to reveal her's to Frodo deliberately. On her finger was Nenya, the ring wrought of mithril, that bore a single white stone flickering like a frosty star.įrodo saw that Gandalf now wore openly upon his hand the Third Ring, Narya the Great, and the stone upon it was red as fire. ![]() The Three were definitely seen in the conclusion of the LotR:Įlrond wore a mantle of grey and had a star upon his forehead, and a silver harp was in his hand, and upon his finger was a ring of gold with a great blue stone, Vilya, mightiest of the Three. After all, even in Galariel's case, Frodo did not notice her Ring until after witnessing the Eye in her Mirror. I think it was the combination of the two, being the Ring-bearer and also witnessing Sauron's Eye, that allowed Frodo to perceive Galadriel's Ring given her comment. Having said that, I think the key is in the paragraph you quoted:īut it cannot be hidden from the Ring-bearer, and one who has seen the Eye.įrodo never saw Gandalf or Elrond between seeing the Eye in Galadriel's Mirror and destroying the One Ring. It seems unusual to let it pass if he noticed either Gandalf's or Elrond's so I think it's reasonable to assume that he did not, in fact, see it. ![]() After all no mention is made of it, and it is a "big deal" that he saw it on Galadriel's finger. No, the fact that Frodo saw Galadriel's Ring does not mean he saw Elrond's and Gandalf's. Could Frodo see Narya and Vilya when in Rivendell? ![]() Of course, being able to simply see the rings does not imply he would necessarily know what they were, but clearly Sam was unable to see Galadriel's ring at all. Or does the quote by Galadriel mean that literally only one who is Ring-bearer and one who has seen the Eye is able to see the other rings? So does this mean that Frodo would have been able to see both Vilya on Elrond's finger and Narya on Gandalf's finger? I am assuming that the Three are like the One in the sense that they must physically be worn in order to utilise their power. This is Nenya, the Ring of Adamant, and I am Verily it is in the land of Lorien upon the finger of Galadriel that But itĬannot be hidden from the Ring-bearer, and one who has seen the Eye. It is not permitted to speak of it, and Elrond could not do so. Frodo sees Nenya on Galadriel's finger after looking into the Mirror of Galadriel, and yet Sam is unable to see it. ![]()
