Plus, I think it would sense for the Mandarin to hand them off to his lieutenants, in order for them to serve as his "eyes" so to speak to ensure nobody double crossed him as he'd be ready for it.

But what would be the point of handing off some rings that nobody but you can use?
Obviously, you'd want to keep that bling-bling for yourself, where they can be put to good use. They're wasted on henchies. And what happens if Mandy wants, say, to chuck a fireball or two, and that particular ring is on Raza's finger out in East Lower Afghanistan, and he's gotta wait on FedEx to pick it up.....?
