Vilya was also called the Ring of Sapphire, and was made of gold with a great blue stone. Vilya could never be corrupted because it had never been touched by Sauron; it had been forged by Celebrimbor, the greatest elven-smith of Eregion. It could have been subject to the One Ring, however, if the One Ring had come to the hand of Sauron instead of being destroyed in Mount Doom since it was a ring of power. With the destruction of the One Ring, the power of Vilya and the other Rings of Power faded.
The other Rings of Power made by the Elves were Nenya and Narya.
