It's a bad habit - answering my own questions...too many voices in the head. And wraithify works for me. Can't wait to hear my kids state that,"Daddy, Joey keeps wraithifying me..."

I expect the Nine and Seven (which are made with Sauron's aid and are a different case) would look aesthetically different from each other, and perhaps have different floklore surrounding their properties and origins. However, the sets of the Seven and Nine would not differ from each other apart from the general differences between each ring. As Estelyn rightly points out, they all come under the many rings crafted by Elves (insert "and Annatar".)

Was the 'Annatar & Elves Ring shop' an assembly line? I can see, in making the Seven, that each was another attempt at making a specific ring-type, each better than the one before at whatever the specific intent was for that ring set.

And you gotta hand to Annatar - he had the elves making jewelry for the dwarves - what a salesman!
