The Rings Of Power Ignores Celebrimbor's Love For Galadriel She said all this to Celebrimbor, who decided to make her the Elessar so she could have everything she had wished. When he gave it to her, he told her it was because of his love for her, even though she had chosen Celeborn to marry.
Therefore Celebrimbor, who loved Galadriel (though she "turned to Celeborn of the Trees") began to work on making the second Elessar. Because unbeknownst to Galadriel, Celebrimbor used to be an Elf of Gondolin, and was a friend of Enerdhil, even though Enerdhil "in most things outrivalled him".
Around FA 52 (FA as in First Age), Galadriel came to Doriath. Galadriel was one of the Ñoldor who came to Middle-earth wishing to see the lands and rule a realm of her own. She came with the second host of Elves from Aman with Fingolfin and Finrod. In Doriath, she and Celeborn fell in love and married.
Sauron did desire Galadriel... He desired to make her his puppet-Queen. He didn't have any romantic feeling for her. He didn't want to marry her or have romance with her.
For more context, during S.A. the elf closest to her age that isn't her husband would be Celebrimbor, the great grandson of Finwë, one of the first elves who awoke at Cuiviénen, 312 years before Galadriel was born. Celebrimbor is roughly 133 years younger than Galadriel.

Who is Celebrimbor's wife?
Celebrimbor was the son of Curufin, one of the seven sons of Feanor, and his wife Nerdanel, daughter of Mahtan the Smith.It was said that Celebrimbor felt an unrequited love for Galadriel, however in Shadows of Mordor he is shown as having unnamed wife and daughter, both of whom having been tortured and eventually ...
Celebrimbor's been evil since he tried to take power from Sauron. Talion's just catching up with his new buddy. (There's a thing in LotR where trying to become extremely powerful=evil, especially if you're using evil tools to do so. That's what Saruman's entire plot chain is about.
For those that haven't read Tolkien's work, it's easy to see why many audiences suspect Gandalf and Galadriel are in love. After all, many of their interactions in The Hobbit trilogy practically scream romance. However, their relationship remains purely platonic in Tolkien's source material.
Sauron seemed to genuinely feel a connection to her, and part of that came from sensing the darkness inside of Galadriel. In that regard, his offer was really a seduction to the dark side.
Yet, since Tolkien does give family trees for other important Elves in the book, such as Galadriel and Elrond, it's clear that Galadriel is not Legolas's mother. (Besides, she is one of the Noldor, not a Silvan or Sindar Elf.)
At this time in the story, Elves and Dwarves were more enemies than allies and refused to trust one another. But their differences weren't enough to keep Gimli from admiring Galadriel's beauty. So of all of the gifts that he could ask for, he requested a strand of her hair to remember her beauty.
Through her great-grandmother, Idril, Arwen was a descendant of King Turgon of the Noldor. Through her mother, she was the granddaughter of the Elf-queen Galadriel of Lothlórien. Through both of her parents, Arwen was a direct descendant of the ancient Elven House of Finwë.
Before this, Celebrimbor believed Sauron to be what he had claimed to be, but realising the truth he and the Elves of Eregion defied Sauron by withholding the other rings from him. He had already sent the three Rings away for safekeeping.
He is old, but elves don't age in Tolkien's writings. Galadriel certainly doesn't. There are several possible answers: Círdan is one of the oldest elves to ever have lived, thousands of years older than Galadriel, (about 30,000 years old), and this might contribute to the look of old age.
Unlike in the books, Celebrimbor doesn't appear to be an innocent pawn in Sauron's plan to create evil and unleash it upon the world. In fact, it seems as though he is the mastermind at work here, and the driving force of evil and greed that makes the rings so corrupted in the fist place.
Thus, Galadriel's dark form in Jackson's The Lord of the Rings personified what would have occurred had the Lady of Lothlorien given in to temptation and taken the One Ring for herself. She would have succumbed to evil because the Ring was indomitable, even with her power.
Nonetheless, it has become increasingly clear over the last few episodes of the Amazon series that there is a strong bond between Galadriel and Halbrand. This bond may have turned into insurmountable love for one another, had they not been destined for different paths.
As previously stated, Gandalf is a Maia and is therefore superior to Elves regarding power. Still, this isn't to say that an elf couldn't develop enough skill and power to defeat a Maia. As a bearer of one of the Three Elven Rings (Nenya), Galadriel would have an edge against Maiar like Saruman and Radagast.
Though neither is someone you'd wish to annoy, Galadriel is generally considered more powerful than Elrond in Lord of the Rings. Not only is she older than her Rivendell counterpart, but Galadriel witnessed the light from Valinor's Two Trees, giving her a mystic quality.
The Third Age. At the beginning of the Third Age, Elrond married Celebrían, daughter of Galadriel. They had three children: twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir, and a daughter, Arwen.
What is the age difference between Galadriel and Elrond?
Elrond's was born nearly 600 years after Galadriel, but he was born as a half-elf, and so until he made the choice to become an elf, he aged at a faster rate, though still slower than mortals. Tolkien says that his initial 24 "growth years" took 24 sun years, after which each life-years took five sun years.
Captured by Sauron, the elf was then tortured as punishment, such as witnessing his family tortured and killed in front of him, before finally being beaten to death with his own Mithril hammer by Sauron.
However, the power of the One quickly began to corrupt Celebrimbor as he continued to use it, to where his initial desire to save his family became twisted into a desire to avenge them, as he believed they had been slain, refusing Sauron's offer to release them if he returned the Ring, so much so that even Sauron noted ...
