I thought all of the rings were either made directly or under the tutelage of Sauron.


negative ghostrider..

the 3 rings, which were second in power only to the one ring, were made with out Saurons knowledge and he never handled them. It's why they had so much power to resist his corruption.

They were made by Celebrimbor in Eregion, and hidden from him at the time he(Sauron) revealed his true self and attacked the Elves. Nenya was sent to Galadriel in Lothlorien, and the other two, Vilya and Narya to Gil-Galad in Lindon.

Gil-Galad entrusted Narya to Cirdan, his top dude, and Cirdan later gave Narya to Gandalf, and Elrond somehow wound up with Vilya, after Gil-Galad died.

the 3 because they were rendered useless when the one ring was destroyed.


not exactly like that, you could look at it like the 3 became far less powerful after the 1 ring was destroyed, because they had achieved their purpose. The 3 rings went into the undying lands(the west) w/ their wearers.

I disagree with this. I think Sauron taught Celebrimbor how to forge them, and did so in mind with having the One Ring control them. Yes Sauron did not directly forge them like he did the 9, but I think he was aware of the 3 when he forged the One Ring, and binded their essence into it. The three Rings were not worn during the Second Age after Sauron wore the One, because as soon as he put on the One, they refused to wear them knowing that he planned to take over their minds. Sauron may not have known how many Elven rings were forged, but he knew that he should be able to bind them to his power.
