well to be fair elronds ring is supposed to be the strongest of the 3 and its gold. And the one ring was made in Mordor by Sauron, in a place where the light of the Silmarils did not shine (although it is unclear what wouldve happened if an actual silmaril had been brought there). Sauron was literally nothing without it, so he probably put all his power inside of it, so it didnt need a gemstone. and of course Tolkien originally meant the ring to be a normal invisibility ring so he made it gemless like all Rings of Not Very Much Power.
