There's bound to be a scholarly answer somewhere/somewhen, but as for my own thoughts... yeah, I think he tried. I don't think he succeeded. Sauron was no doubt sniggering at Saruman's feeble attempts.
Maybe Saruman didn't want to make Sauron's mistake of putting so much of himself into the ring.
Gandalf also refers to rings (plural) Magic rings are well magical and they are rare and curious.... at this point in the text he has no idea which ring Bilbo has.... which seems infinitely strange to us that he's let the matter go for sixty years without investigating it. Can this be blamed on Saruman's soothing words? or simply the product of LOTR becoming more than Tolkien imagined when he wrote out The Hobbit?
