The Nine Rings were Sauron's gifts to the greatest of Mannish Kings in hopes of their corruption, and his ploy was successful. The Nazgûl first showed themselves in their new immortal form about S.A. 2250 though they had been granted great power and were undying, they were also invisible and totally dependant on the One Ring. After the end of the Second Age, the Nazgûl no longer bore the Rings of Power that seduced them into the Dark Lord's service. Instead, Sauron retained them until the recovery of the Ruling Ring.
These rings are each made of enchanted and virtually weightless gold ithilnaur and are inscribed in Quenya using the Tengwar. A unique jewel adorns each one, and each shines with its own particular aura, but all of the Rings are invisible to anyone except another Ring-wearer or the Lord of the Rings himself. Originally forged with good intent, they became corrupted by Sauron and hence inextricably tied to the One Ring. The Nine Rings of Men were destroyed when the Ruling Ring perished, though the greatest of the Nine (worn by the Witch-king and thus lying on the Pelennor Fields at his death) may have survived in a powerless form.
