Narya pertenceu a Círdan, mas este deu-o a Gandalf, que ficou encarregue de o guardar, o Grande Anel de Fogo ostentava um Rubi, e era capaz de acender o coração dos povos da Terra-média. Nenya pertenceu a Galadriel, era feito de Mithril e tinha um Diamante, o Anel da Água tinha o poder de manter belos os jardins de Lothlórien, reino da Senhora Galadriel, e de retardar o envelhecimento do mundo. Vilya pertenceu a Gil-Galad, que antes de morrer o entregou a Elrond o Meio-elfo. O Anel do Ar era o mais poderoso dos três e ostentava uma Safira. Era usado também para proteger Rivendell.
Narya, Nenya & Vilya é uma obra composta em três andamentos. A ideia geradora assenta no facto de ambos os andamentos terem alguma coisa em comum, ao mesmo tempo que possuem características próprias.
