Frodo only saw Galadriel's ring because she let him see it, and because his awareness was sharper now. Or maybe she was just showing it off, the fashion maven!

Ahh - The Tookishness has finally appeared!

OT: "Maybe their rings clashed with their outfits! :)"

Jen: "Or maybe she was just showing it off, the fashion maven!"

I would agree that a ring of magnificence would clash with Gandalf's rough-ragged grey robes. Kindof like wearing pearls with sweatpants (though I can see Ian wearing pearls)

BUT, Elrond's attire would carry a magnificent ring.

Here you two, have some wings... they're good!

I am not sure that she let him see it. I think that he is more preceptive in Lorien. He has borne the ring longer and thus it would make him more aware of the different "powers" that are out there.
