Three Keepers
From Tolkien Gateway
The Three Keepers were the guardians of the Three Rings of the Elves, a term used particularly to refer to those who held the Rings at the end of the Third Age, and departed over the Sea with them.[1] The guardianship was unknown throughout the whole Age and it was only known later that they were held by the greatest among the Eldar.[2] The Three Keepers were Elrond (who received Vilya[3] from Gil-galad), Galadriel (who held Nenya[3]) and Gandalf (who received Narya[4] from Círdan).[2]
