Sauruman's ring

[Curufinwe]

So, if i had to venture i guess, i would guess that this topic has come across the board of such an inquisitive bunch before. But if not, what do we think of Sauruman's ring? Did Sauruman forge a "lesser" magic ring? (rather than a ring of power) Gandalf mentions the dangers of magic rings other than the great rings as being "perilous" for mortals to use. It is also mentioned in "of the rings of power" that the mirdain of Eregion tried their hand at rings or at least "works" prior to the forging of the rings of power, is it possible that Sauruman forged himself a ring similar to those mentioned above? If so, do we think its power was dominion of lesser wills? A "child's copy" of the ruling ring? Or maybe something else? Also does anyone suppose Sauruman would have revealed that ring to Sauron when the crystal phone rang? Discuss

You're right. It has been done before. Not too long ago, as a matter of fact. Anyway, here's a link to the previous discussion.
