The three rings were forged by Celebrimbor. Cirdan the shipwright got Narya the Red ring of Fire, but he Entrusted it to Gandalf because Cirdans heart was in the sea. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It's in the Silmarillion pages 345, 358, and 365.
Cirdan to Gandalf- "Take now this Ring, for thy labours and thy cares will be heavy, but in all it will support thee and defend thee from weariness. For this is the Ring of Fire, and here with, maybe, thou shalt rekindle hearts to the valour of old in a world that grows chill. But for me, my heart is with the Sea,and I will dwell by the grey shores, guarding the Havens until the last ship sails. Then I will await thee."
Hope this helps. -Yavanna
