Silmaril

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

Quote:
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...
The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age. (emphasis mine)

Quote:
The Three, fairest of all, the Elf-Lords hid from him, and his hand never touched them or sullied them. Seven the Dwarf-Kings possessed, but three he has recovered, and the others the dragons have consumed. Nine he gave to Mortal Men, proud and great, and so ensnared them.
Fellowship of the Ring, Shadow of the Past.

PJ never said that Sauron made the Nine or the Seven. Do try to keep from mixing up your movies and books.
