Perhaps Saruman, in his rashness, forgot about Narya? Gandalf may have concentrated on keeping Saruman's mind away from Narya. This may be hard to believe but it is a theory.
And if Saruman should remember Narya he knew where it was and that it couldn't escape him. More pressing matters were on his mind.
