Perhaps Frodo saw it because Artanis chose to wear it in front of him, held up her hand, and starlight glanced off it... maybe Frodo understood with certainty that this Ring was one of the Great Three, without being told, because his 'sight' had grown keener as the bearer of the One.

Some fairly recent discussion on that here: http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthr...599#post655599
