So, yes, Gandalf is aware at the very least shortly after The Hobbit that Bilbo has the Ring however, he does not ascertain its true nature until much, much later. It’s the same reason Galadriel refused the One ring. Gandalf can’t touch the One ring because it would corrupt him and he would become a terrifying wizard like Saruman. A wealth that will always spawn greed and corruption, according to Tolkien. The One Ring is a ring for a reason it represents the type of temporal power Kings and ordinary men alike strive towards. What does the one ring symbolize in Lord of the Rings? The inscription symbolized the One Ring’s power to control the other Rings of Power. The ring-inscription is in Black Speech, the language of Mordor, and was written in the Elvish script of Tengwar.
