And yes, that's exactly what's going on...the image of Gandalf wearing the thing about on his finger everywhere has never sat right with me. I can't recall at the moment if the Three could actually be hidden or dimmed from the sight of onlookers...do you happen to know? In any case, something about him wearing it around his neck appealed to me; if he's actually explicitly stated canonically to have worn it on his hand in LotR, I guess he still has about 19 centuries to remove it from around his neck. =)
