Maybe I'm missing something, but in all of the times I've read The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings, I haven't been able to figure this out.

Celebrimbor made the 3 Elven Rings of Power, without of Sauron's knowledge or any of his power. So, why were they diminished when the One Ring was unmade? I'm unsure of how their power was dependent on the power of the One in any fashion.
