"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for the Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie." Total: twenty rings Nov 27 03, 6:20 PM

There appears to be a web site just for this very question http://www.myprecious.us/info/rings-of-power/how_many_rings_of_power_were_made.php How many Rings of Power were Made? The verse in the Lord of the Rings makes explicit reference to 20 Rings of Power: 9 for Mortal Men, 7 for Dwarf Lords, 3 for Elven Kings, and 1 for the Dark Lord. These are the Rings of Power made in the Second Age and concern the events of the Third Age. Nov 28 03, 2:10 AM

The question was not "How many rings of power", it was "How many rings are there in total." Since Aragorn's serpent ring gets a mention, then the number becomes 21! Dec 05 07, 6:17 AM
