The quote from UT HCIsland mentioned regarding Galadriel
Quote:
|
It was not until two long ages more had past, when at last all that she had desired in her youth come to her hand, the Ring of Power and the dominion of Middle-earth of which she had dreamed, that her wisdom was full grown and she rejected it, and passing the last test departed from Middle-earth forever.

Also note later in the section this passage turns up:
Quote:
And when he at length (Celebrimbor) discovered the existence of the One Ring he
revolted against Sauron, and went to Lorinand to take counsel once more with Galadriel. They should have destroyed all the Rings of Power at this time, “but failed to find the strength.” Galadriel counseled him that the Three Rings of the Elves should be hidden, never used, dispersed, far from Eregion where Sauron believed them to be. It was at that time that she received Nenya, the White Ring, from Celebrimbor, and by its power the realm of Lorinand was strengthened and made beautiful; but its power upon her was great also and unforeseen, for it increased her latent desire for the Sea and for return to the West, so that her joy in Middle-earth was diminished.
