I was wondering...

I read about it in the Silmarillion. The Dwarves weren't very affected, as "they ill endure the domination of others", and "nor can they be turned to shadows". They only used their rings to get more wealth, but it though kindled greed of gold in their hearts, which helped Sauron later on. One of the Seven were given to Durin III. (If I understand correctly, it was also the one, which was taken from Thráin(?? Thorin's father) in Dol Guldur.

This is what I could find on spot, and I probably missed a lot of details. I hoped it was some of the things you wanted to know! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: "It is said that the foundation of each of the Seven Hoards of the Dwarf-kings of old was a golden ring" - but don't ask which Seven Hoards there is talked about. I know Moria is one of them, and I guess some in the Blue Mountains.
