I think Boromir88 is refering to this incident:
Quote:
Frodo took it from his breeches-pocket, where it was clasped to a chain that hung from his belt. He unfastened it and handed it slowly to the wizard. It felt suddenly very heavy, as if either it or Frodo himself was in some way reluctant for Gandalf to touch it.
Gandalf held it up. It looked to be made of pure and solid gold. "Can you see any markings on it?" he asked.
"No," said Frodo. "There are none. Iti is quite plain, and it never shows a scratch or sign of wear."
"Well then, look!" To Frodo's astonishment and distress the wizard threw it suddenly into the middle of a glowing corner of the fire.

Personally I don't think that some of these people can really count as "bearing" the Ring. Handling it, yes, but bearing it, no. Those who actually bore the Ring I would count as Sauron, Isildur, Gollum, Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam. I even hesitate to put Deagol on that list because he had it for such a short time.
But anyway, I would say that probably Elrond or Gandalf put the Ring on the chain; my opinion is that is was Elrond.
