If the Elven rings were crafted in secret, independent of Sauron, how is their power related to the One ring? Why would Elrond and Galadriel's "reign" begin to diminish if the One ring was destroyed? Maybe I'm making some inaccurate assumptions, but it seems that the inevitable diminishment of the ringed Elves' kingdoms upon the destruction of the One ring is implied on more than one occasion. If this is so, then it would seem that the power of the Elven rings comes from Sauron and the One ring.

But how can that be if they were crafted independently of Sauron?

Where do they get their power from if it was not from Sauron?
