Did Saturn have no rings before?

A long time ago - when it was first formed - Saturn would have had no rings. The rings formed because the gravity of Saturn attracts small particles of matter to it, and all these particles orbit it in the same plane. They are too small to accrete into a Moon and large enough to hold each other in their rings, without being pulled to the surface of the planet.
