I was not referring to the movies in any case. Sauron DID in fact have a hand in making the Seven and the Nine.

My comment was made because you said "
Sauron had a hand in and/or made them?".
The quote you gave makes it quite clear that Sauron did not make them. Since the movie implied that he did, I figured that was probably where you got the idea.

In those days the smiths of Ost-in-Edhil surpassed all that they had contrived before; and they took thought, and they made Rings of Power. But Sauron guided their labors and he was aware of all that they did; for his desire was to set a bond upon the Elves...

Notice that this quote does not limit Sauron's guiding to just the 16. Sauron gave them knowledge that allowed the Elves to create the rings of power, which includes the three. How else could he take dominance over the three? There must have been some link to Sauron's power in their making.

PJ never said that Sauron made the Nine or the Seven.

It was definitely implied.

Do try to keep from mixing up your movies and books.

I wasn't the one who posted the possibility that Sauron created the 16. You did. I think you should take your own advice.
