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.
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.

While it's true Sauron taught Celebrimbor much about ring crafting, Celebrimbor was a direct descendant in lineage of Feanor, one of the greatest ever smith/crafters of Middle Earth, who you may recall crafted the Silmarils. So Celebrimbor of the Noldor, considered the most inqusitive of the Elven houses, was already a marvelously gifted crafter in his own right.
It was Celebrimbor, NOT Sauron, who crafted the rings of power, at the forges in Eregion, only the one ring was forged in secret by Sauron at Mt Doom.
The corrupting influence of the 7 and 9 rings had as much to do with Sauron and the so called corruption of dwarves and men, and how he used them to turn them against each other. Remember the rings themselves where not corrupt or evil, outside of the one that Sauron crafted, which contained his spirit.

If Sauron knew about the 3 elf rings why would they bother to hide them from him? Yes the One Ring was most powerful and the 3 would not be able to with stand it if he regained it, kinda the point huh.
Pretty sure Galdariel and Gandalf both wore their rings and it's somewhat indicated that Elrond was also able to do things like control the waters of the Isen with the help of his ring, so either way they wore them in the 3rd age.
