A dwarf as ringbearer?

[Kuruharan]

You sure about that? I thought all the rings were made by elves for elves.

The Elven Rings were made for the Elves, the Human Rings for the Humans, and the Dwarf Rings for the Dwarves. In the UT it says that there was a difference between them. Sauron was the one who took the Nine and gave them to Men. The Seven had already been given to their recipients when Sauron sacked Eregion, but Sauron forced their locations from Celebrimbor. The Three were dearer to Celebrimbor and he did not reveal them.

I know that not all of that may be strictly canon, but I think that it shows that there was a distinction between the Three, the Seven, and the Nine other than that was just how the rings were given out by Sauron.

Just a thought: Maybe the ring wasn't given to a dwarf for the simple reason that the council saw that fate had 'chosen' for a hobbit to find it and a hobbit to inherit it, thus sealing Frodo as the ringbearer instead of Gimli for instance.
