Why could they not make more rings? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Most of the Rings actually lost some of their power as Sauron took control of them. Their fate was linked to that of the One Ring, so any other Elven ring that was made would have fallen under this spell, and had no power. Also, the makings of any other ring of power would have alerted Sauron when he was in control of the One, as he had control of the Nine and most of the Seven already. This would probably lead to him discovering the Three, and ultimately take over the world.
