Narya (the Ring of Fire, the Red Ring), from Quenya nár, "fire", was set with a ruby. Its metal is not stated. It gave its wielder resistance to the weariness of time, and evoked hope and courage in others. Its final bearer was the Wizard Gandalf, who received it from Círdan at the Grey Havens during the Third Age.
The ring was gifted to an Elven High-King and passed down through generations. Upon meeting Gandalf, an Elven descendant gifted him the ring to aid in his protection of Middle-earth. Knowing the great responsibility of wielding a Ring of Power, Gandalf used it sparingly throughout the ages.
Though someone could start out with good intentions, the Ring would eventually corrupt them. And that is why Gandalf can't touch it. He is afraid that if he did, it would corrupt him and make him just as bad as Sauron since Sauron put so much of himself and his evil into the One Ring.
One sits on the finger of Elrond (Vilya), one is wielded by Galadriel (Nenya), and the final ring, Narya, is used by none other than Gandalf. Since the three rings are of elven origin, it's only natural for Elrond and Galadriel to have one each, but how does Gandalf come into possession of an elf relic?
The Keepers of the Three Rings were those who held the Three Rings of the Elves after their making, through more than 4,000 years of the Second and Third Ages. Originally the three Keepers were Gil-galad, Galadriel, and Círdan. Gil-galad gave his Ring to Elrond and Círdan gave his to Gandalf.

Is the Stranger in Rings of Power Gandalf?

Sauron recovered the Seven Rings from information provided by Celebrimbor, and gave them to the leaders of the seven kindreds of the Dwarves: Durin's Folk (Longbeards), Firebeards, Broadbeams, Ironfists, Stiffbeards, Blacklocks, and Stonefoots, though a tradition of Durin's Folk claimed that Durin received his ring ...
No, Aragorn wears the ring of Barahir, a family ancestral heirloom, and given to him by Elrond when he came of age. Elrond referred to it as “a symbol of our kinship from afar.” But it was not a Ring of Power.
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.
The contents of Tolkiens' notes and other works weren't covered and were thus off-limits to the filmmakers. That's why Gandalf's mind coincidentally went blank — he legally couldn't name the wizards. So, the writers had Gandalf exploit a loophole by alluding to the two Istari without explicitly mentioning them.
Summary. Gandalf, as an Istari, was sent to Middle-earth to assist in the fight against Sauron, but he was forbidden from using his full power to interfere with the natural order. Saruman's downfall serves as a warning of the dangers of exceeding the limits placed on the Istari by the Valar.
Saruman's real intention was to allow Sauron to build up his strength, so that the Ring would reveal itself and he could claim it first. Concealing his contempt, Saruman persuaded Radagast to teach him how to tame birds and beasts; these he used as spies for his own purposes, unbeknownst to the Brown Wizard.

As one of the Maiar, Gandalf was not a mortal Man but an angelic being who had taken human form. As one of those spirits, Olórin was in service to the Creator (Eru Ilúvatar) and the Creator's 'Secret Fire'.
There's a big reason why this coincidence didn't clock with Gandalf, and it's because the idea of Bilbo finding the One Ring seemed out of the realm of possibility. For close to 3000 years, the One Ring was missing, with no hints as to its whereabouts.
Unfinished Tales didn't confirm that Saruman had found Isildur's body, so Saruman may have only found the jewelry. However, all indication was that Saruman had found Isildur's body and disposed of it. That way, he could keep his actions secret, and he could keep the servants of Sauron from finding the body.
Originally Answered: When did Gandalf noticed that Saruman was turning to the wrong side? When Gandalf was seeking council with Saruman, and Saruman showed him the Palantir, he suspected it. Shortly after, Saruman asked Gandalf to join him on the wrong side, and Gandalf's suspicions were confirmed.
