Saruman taking ring from Gandalf.. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

But the rings are invisseble for those who do not posses them. For only Frodo saw that Galadriel had the ring. And the quote clearly says that only Galadriel, Elrond and Cirdan knew that Gandalf had the ring. So speaking of putting one and one together, they only knew because they had rings of their own and could see it. Cirdan ofcourse, gave the ring to Gandalf, that's how he knew. And the ring could only be seen by bearers when openly revealed, for Frodo did notice before that Galadriel wore the elven ring, nor did he ever notice with Elrond either. That's the most obvious reason I can think of.
