I think that it said that, contrary to Sauron's designs, the Rings only had the effect of filling the Dwarves' hearts with a greed for gold,

Question about 3 Elven rings
Why would the three elven rings be under the dominion of Sauron's ring, if Sauron "never" touched it or had a hand in their making?
Why couldn't the Elves (or anyone else) make other rings of power to counter the One ring? Sincerely, Anthony ![]()

The Elves forged the Rings of power guided by Sauron, and Sauron got to know all the secrets of the Elves, but he himself only revealed a small portion of his skill. The Elves did not have enough knowledge to make rings that could conquer the One.
The 9 and the 7 Rings were gathered from the Elves and sullied by Sauron after the Elves were aware of his betrayal, and they had managed to save the 3.
