Second Age 3261, Ar-Pharazôn, the last of the Kings of Númenor, do battle with Sauron in contention of his self-proclaimed title of Overlord of Middle-Earth. Second Age 1700, Gil-galad and Tar-Minastrir destroy Saurons army forcing him back to Mordor to regroup. Second Age 1600, Sauron forges the One Ring to rule all the others. Second Age 1500, Celebrimbor forges the 16 rings under the instruction of Annatar, who is Sauron in disguise.
The fact that Sauron wasn't destroyed means that the One Ring was still in existence (and Sauron knew it still existed) but didn't know where it was or who possessed it. If the One Ring had been destroyed then Sauron would have been destroyed with it. That's entirely different to learning that the One Ring was still in existence. He deduced that Gollum's ring was the One Ring. He deduced that Gollum's ring was the One Ring, and sent his servants the Nine to find Shire and search for Baggins, so that the One Ring might be found and brought back to him. He learnt from Gollum that he once had a ring –Īfter the creature Gollum, who had previously possessed the ring, was captured, Sauron had him tortured and learned that he once had a magic ring, and from him he heard the words Shire and Baggins. It says in the fellowship of the ring that Sauron learned that the One Ring was still in existence, partially from Gollum.
