Nenya

Nenya, also known as the White Ring, Ring of Adamant, and Ring of Water, was one of the three Rings of Power given to the Elves of Middle-earth in the Second Age.
==Description==
Nenya is described as being made of mithril and set with a "white stone"The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Six, Chapter IX: "The Grey Havens" of adamant.
The ring was wielded by Lady Galadriel of Lothlórien, and was not normally visible; while Frodo Baggins could see it by virtue of being a Ring-bearer himself, Sam Gamgee told Galadriel he only "saw a star through [her] fingers."The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Chapter VII: "The Mirror of Galadriel"This appears in many editions as "finger", which suggests that Galadriel's finger somehow became transparent, but The Treason of Isengard (chapter 13, note 34) mentions it as an error.
==History==
Nenya was made by Celebrimbor and the Gwaith-i-Mírdain of Eregion in the Second Age, along with the other two Elven Rings, Narya and Vilya. Their existence was hidden from Sauron, so no evil touched the three Elven rings.The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age
Nenya's power was preservation and concealment from evil. Galadriel used these powers to create and sustain Lothlórien. After the destruction of the One Ring and the defeat of Sauron, its power faded along with the other Rings of Power. Galadriel bore Nenya on a ship from the Grey Havens into the West, accompanied by the two bearers of the other Elven Rings. With the ring gone, the magic and beauty of Lórien also faded, and it was gradually depopulated; it was deserted by the time Arwen came there to die in FO 121.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (v): "The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen"
==In adaptations==
=== The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power ===
Nenya first appears in the final episode of The Rings of Power Season One, when Celebrimbor creates the Three after receiving aid from Sauron in disguise as "Halbrand". Nenya's appearance is notably different than in Peter Jackson's films.
===Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy===
Nenya's depiction in The Hobbit films is identical to that in the preceding trilogy. On the band is an ornament shaped like a flower, and within the flower ornament there is a white gem. Nenya is seen visibly on Galadriel's finger as she enters Dol Guldur in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
===Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy===
In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Nenya is seen briefly during the opening sequence. Galadriel is shown to be receiving her ring alongside the other two as gifts. In the extended version of this film, Galadriel shows the ring to Frodo to illustrate how she has had to make choices as a ring-bearer.
