魔戒到底有几枚？
<The Fellowship of the Ring> P66的诗和Gandalf的解释：
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

魔戒到底有几枚？
<The Fellowship of the Ring> P66的诗和Gandalf的解释：
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."
根据这首诗的记载，最早魔戒应该总共有20枚：
精灵王3枚；
矮人王7枚；
人王9枚（就是被索隆收服，后来一次次追杀Frodo的戒灵骑士）；
魔戒之王1枚（就是Frodo手里的这枚）。
随后，Gandalf又解释说，矮人王手里的戒指被索隆找到3枚，另外的被巨龙吞食了，也就是说，戒指到护戒行动开始之前，魔戒还剩下16枚。
除了魔戒王被毁，其他魔戒的命运不知怎样，而关于三枚精灵王戒指，在故事的最后，作者做了交代：
Vilya魔戒由Elrond持有，这枚戒指镶嵌蓝宝石，纯金制造，是精灵三戒中威力最强的：
"Elrond 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."
Nenya魔戒由Galadriel女王持有，这枚戒指镶嵌寒光闪烁的钻石，是秘银制造的：
"On her finger was Nenya, the ring wrought of mithril, that bore a single white stone flickring like a frosty star."
Narya魔戒由Gandalf持有，这枚戒指镶嵌着如火的红宝石：
"...Gandalf now wore openly on his hand the Third Ring, Narya the Great, and the stone upon it was red as fire."
问题是，Gandalf又不属于精灵一族，为什么精灵第三戒会戴在他的手上呢？
