![]() ![]() Tolkien's writings, and one of the protagonists in The Lord of the Rings. ![]() I saw a star through your fingers.Frodo Baggins is a fictional character in J. ‘To tell you the truth, I wondered what you were talking about. You not see and recognise the ring upon my finger? Did you see my ring?’ she asked turning again to Sam. Yet even so, as Ring-bearer and as one that has seen that which is hidden, your sight is grown keener. ![]() Eärendil, the Evening Star, most beloved of the Elves, shone clear above Its rays glanced upon a ring about her finger it glittered like polished gold overlaid with silver light, and a white stone in it twinkled Frodo gazed at the ring with awe for suddenly it seemed to him that he understood She lifted up her white arms, and spread out her hands towards the East in a gesture of rejection and denial. As such it is possible Gandalf carried it around in his pocket throughout his adventures, or in a hidden section on his hat, or possibly with his pipe!Īs for why there is speculation to the wearers being able to hide their Rings, the most common reference is to Frodo seeing Nenya on Galadriel's finger in Lorien (and Sam seeing something but not being able to understand what he saw): However even while not wearing the Ring, Frodo had a heightened perception and was able to dominate the will of Sméagol to some extent demonstrating that while not wearing it he wielded some of it's power. It is only believed to be true as that is what is commonly done with rings and seems to be true (for the most part) for the One Ring. There is no reason to believe that Gandalf ever wore Narya on his finger, or that any of the Wise did so regularly. The Return of the King, Book VI, Chapter 9: The Grey Havens On her finger was Nenya, the ring wrought of mithril, that bore a single white stone flickering like a frosty star. As he turned and came towards them Frodo saw that Gandalf now wore openly upon his hand the Third Ring, Narya the Great, and the stone upon it was red as fire. Then Círdan led them to the Havens, and there was a white ship lying, and upon the quay beside a great grey horse stood a figure robed all in white awaiting them. This leads to speculation that they are now visible to Pippin, Merry and Sam (who's recollections led to the ending of the book) because they have lost their power and can therefore no longer be hidden by their wearers.Įlrond wore a mantle of grey and had a star upon his forehead, and a silver harp was in his hand, and upon his finger was a ring of gold with a great blue stone, Vilya, mightiest of the Three. The only time Narya is shown to be worn by Gandalf (and coincidentally Vilya by Elrond, Nenya gets another mention too) was at the Grey Havens after the destruction of the One Ring. There seems to be a reasonable consensus online that the 3 were somehow able to be worn invisibly and only revealed to those the 3 wearers wanted to reveal them to, although I couldn't find any absolute evidence. Almost no information is given about Narya when Gandalf comes into possession of it, and even less about how he wore it. ![]()
