Another fun thought.
Long ago, I started a thread which broached the subject of whether there were orginally supposed to be FOUR, or even FIVE eleven rings; that since each elven ring seemed to be tied to an element, it was odd that there was no ring for Earth (or Spirit, but the One ring fits that quite well in and of itself) Now I'm wondering if Saruman's attempt a a ring would have resulted in just that, a ring of earth. You have said that Saruman might have been able to create a ring on par with the elven rings, and given sarumans love of metal, machinery and tecnology, earth would certainly seem to be his element. Pity we never get a description of what the ring looks like, if it had a green stone (my best guess as to the color of the earth element given red fire, white water and blue sky) that might say a lot.
