<P> The Three Rings were made by Celebrimbor after Sauron, in the guise of Annatar, had left Eregion . These were free of Sauron's influence, as he did not have a hand in their making . However, they were still forged by Celebrimbor with the arts taught to him by Sauron and thus were still bound to the One Ring . Upon perceiving Sauron's intent, the Elves hid the three from him . They were carried out of Middle - earth at the end of the Third Age, after the destruction of the One Ring . </P> <P> The first ring, Narya, was adorned with a red gemstone, perhaps a ruby . It is seen in the final chapter of The Lord of the Rings, along with the other two Elven rings . But unlike them, it is not said what metal Narya was made of . </P> <P> The name is derived from the Quenya nár meaning fire . It was also called Narya the Great, Ring of Fire, Red Ring, and The Kindler . </P> <P> According to Unfinished Tales, at the start of the War of the Elves and Sauron, Celebrimbor gave Narya together with the Ring Vilya to Gil - galad, High King of the Noldor . Gil - galad entrusted Narya to his lieutenant Círdan, Lord of the Havens of Mithlond, who kept it after Gil - galad's death . According to The Lord of the Rings, Gil - galad received only Vilya, while Círdan received Narya from the very beginning along with Galadriel receiving Nenya from the start . </P>
