I've been mulling it over. In lore, Sauron forges the rings for Dwarves and Men before Celebrimbor forges the Elven rings. Sauron then forges the One Ring in Mordor.
As is the case, part of me wonders if Halbrand might have the rings of Dwarves and Men in his back pocket already - or do the Dwarves already have theirs? I suspect the show's going to keep doing their own thing, and the Rings are not yet part of the the story--the show's called The Rings of Power, after all.
Also, I noted at the of the finale the show made a point of showing the Istar and Nori were in Greenwood (also later known as Mirkwood in later ages, and the forest we see in one of the Hobbit movies). Perhaps season two sees an elf join them.
