Sorry, no. The One, the Seven, and the Nine were made by Sauron and would eventually corrupt anyone who wore them. But the rest were made by the elves and as Elrond said,
'The Three were not made by Sauron, nor did he ever touch them. But of them it is not permitted to speak. So much only in this hour of doubt I may now say. They are not idle. But they were not made as weapons of war or conquest: that is not their power. Those who made them did not desire strength or domination or hoarded wealth, but understanding, making, and healing, to preserve all things unstained.'
But Gandalf also said,
'In Eregion long ago many Elven-rings were made, magic rings as you call them, and they were, of course, of various kinds: some more potent and some less. The lesser rings were only essays in the craft before it was full-grown, and to the Elven-smiths they were but trifles -- yet still to my mind dangerous for mortals. But the Great Rings, the Rings of Power, the were perilous.'
So, a GM could introduce one of these lesser rings wihout to much disruption to the campaign.
