Question Dwarf Rings

I was just wondering.<P>In the FOTR movie at the begining 7 rings were given to the 7 dwarf lords. I know the men turned into the ring wraiths but what about the dwarfs? If any of you know the answer to my question please reply.

I know Sauron took the some of the rings of the dwarves, and I think there *might* be one in Moria, but am I currently study the history of men, not dwarves.

The 7 have either been destroyed or taken back, the last one was lost somewhere in Moria, I belive, when Dain III(Or was it Dain IV?) was killed by a balrog and the dwarves fled.

The last of the Dwarf rings was taken by Sauron (then the Necromancer) in Dol Guldur when he captured Thrain the second (Thorin's father) ninety-one years before Bilbo and Company set out from Bag End to recapture the Lonely Mountain from Smaug. This was when Gandalf acquired the map and key to the back door of the Lonely Mountain. It is in Unfinished Tales--The Quest of Erebor.

Ring

The rings of the Dwarves, as has been said, were all consumed by dragons or collected by Sauron by the time of the War of the Rings. <P>The Dwarven ringbearers did not become wraiths or fall under the domination of Sauron. They were said to have some innate resistance which meant that they could not 'fade' like the human ringbearers.<BR>However, the Dwarven rings apparently helped the dwarves in obtaining gold and other precious things, but awoke in them a greed for more wealth, which eventually led to evil consequences.

So just another thing about the rings and wraiths.<P>The nazgul are (of course) the 9 men who where decieved by sauron. But are they still wearing there rings?<BR>And if they are can they be taken off?<BR>If they can be taken off will they go back to there normal selves?

No they were not still wearing their rings. After they were turned into wraiths, Sauron took the rings back so he could control them. I think there is a quote in UT that says that the nazgul were the only ones capable of taking the ring from Frodo as they didn't have a will of their own and were completely subservient to the ring that enslave them the Sauron holds. (not the exact quote but of the same spirit of it).
