None of the bearers of the three elf rings, Elrond, Galadriel or Gandalf, wore their rings openly until after the destruction of The One Ring.<P>In Lorien, Frodo saw Galadriel's ring only because he was also a ring-bearer. Sam saw a star in the sky behind her, shining through her fingers, insted of a ring.<P>The rings had been hidden ever since their maker, Celembrimbor, became aware that Sauron had made the Ruling Ring and was trying to get control of all the others. Very few people knew who held the rings.<BR>Galadriel told Frodo that Sauron knew that there was a great power in Lorien, that he suspected that it was one of the Elven rings, but he didn't know for sure.<p>[ September 20, 2002: Message edited by: Selmo ]
