  Rings of Power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rings apparently granted the ability to see things which are normally unseen, such as Frodo Baggins' ability to see Galadriel's Ring when Samwise Gamgee could not or various instances of perceiving things in the wraith world while wearing the One.
Elrond hints at the possession of the three rings during the Council of Elrond in Rivendell, in The Fellowship of the Ring, advising that that neither he, nor Lórien, nor the Havens have the power to withstand the might of Mordor.

The making of the rings was such an undertaking that when Sauron planned to make the One Ring he had to place a majority of his power in that ring in order to hold sway over the other rings made by the elves.
They remained hidden, and the whereabouts of two were not revealed until the end of the Third Age, after the One Ring was destroyed, and the Dark Lord Sauron was overthrown (Galadriel reveals her possession of one of the rings to Frodo in Fellowship of the Ring).
It could, however, be argued that the possession of the three rings were hinted at during the council of the ring in the Fellowship of the Ring, where Elrond advises that that neither he, nor Lórien, nor the Havens have the power to withstand the might of Mordor.

 The Lord of the Rings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lord of the Rings in its turn is considered to have had a great impact on modern fantasy, and the impact of Tolkien's works is such that the use of the words "Tolkienian" and "Tolkienesque" have been recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Isildur was advised to destroy the One Ring by the only way it can be — by casting it into the volcanic Mount Doom where it was forged — but he refused, attracted to its beauty and kept it as compensation for the deaths of his father and brother (weregild).
However, the Ring slipped from his finger while he was swimming in the great River Anduin; he was killed by Orc-arrows and the Ring was lost for two millennia.

Seven rings of ice and rock particles with 31 known moons.
Saturn's rings are thought to have originated relatively recently -- from 10 million to 100 million years ago -- following a huge orbital collision.
The gaps in the rings that give Saturn its distinctive appearance are caused by gravitational tides that pull on the debris, as well as smaller satellites which clean up certain orbits by "vacuuming" smaller particles.

 FAQ of the Rings
The Rings of Power had one additional effect, which definitely was not for the benefit of the bearer: with repeated use, they would turn a mortal (Man or Hobbit) into a wraith under Sauron’s domination.
Since the Rings make their wearers invisible by shifting them into the wraith-world, where Glorfindel had a presence, it seems at least possible that the Elves who have lived in Valinor could see a Ring-wearer.
While we don’t know the precise proportion of X to S, from the fact that when the Ring was destroyed Sauron died permanently (as far as Middle-earth was concerned) we can infer that by “a great part” of his power Tolkien probably meant nearly all.

 Turk's Head Rings
The knots are described in terms of the number of leads (complete turns around the cylinder) and bights (loops from edge to edge), and additionally by the number of times the path is completed.
I have seen rings made with only three leads, generally of several twisted strands, available from other jewelers, but I've never seen any rings as complex as my seven-lead knots.
As far as I can tell, I am the only person in the world screwy enough to even consider tying a turk's head ring with as many as seven leads, much less nine or eleven.
