Please read the Below
If you have never had a puzzle ring before, please read the history and mythology below regarding the ring style. This ring is actually 4 separate interlocked bands. If the ring is removed, the bands seperate and the wearer must know how to put them back together in order to wear the ring again. This can be a a daunting task since, they must be fit together in an exact way to make it one ring again. Unless you solve the secret, the ring will not fit back together. Once you take it apart, you can have lots of fun trying to figure out the puzzle.
Just in case you have trouble figuring out how to put the ring together go to the link listed here for a detailed video on how to put the ring together.

HISTORY AND MYTHOLOGY
These rings are often called Puzzle Rings, Turkish Harem Rings and Turkish Promise Rings.
It is generally agreed that the puzzle ring’s country of origin is Turkey.  The old story is that in ancient times a Turkish nobleman was so in love with his wife that he had the ring designed her so that when they were apart, she would remain faithful to him.  If she removed the ring to enter into an affair with another man during his absence, he would know this immediately upon his return.  He refused to tell her the secret to the puzzle. I often wonder if, a clever wife would be able to outsmart him, solve the puzzle, and protect her secrets - or not remove the ring for any reason.
The Puzzle Ring in Literature
'The Puzzle Ring' is a children's time travel adventure written by the Australian author Kate Forsyth.  The heroine, Hannah, must search for the four lost loops of a puzzle ring in order to break an ancient fairy curse upon her family. The puzzle ring in the book is forged in the shape of a rose.
(One of the designs that we have listed is a Rose
design).
PERSONAL NOTE TO BUYERS
I have had a puzzle ring on my hand for the past 40 years.  It is been fun, interesting and has become such a part of me, I cannot imagine being without it. There is a very helpful use to wearing a puzzle ring -
DISTRACTION
. If you are ever in a situation where you are receiving unwanted attention, but do not want to insult the person because of professional or personal reasons -
USE YOUR RING
. Take your ring off, hand it to the individual and ask him or her to solve the puzzle. This works especially well with people who are a bit under the influence or are very egotistical. Hopefully, they can’t and you are off the hook. I have been fortunate, the few times I have had to resort to this last-ditch effort, the puzzle went unsolved. Unfortunately, I don’t have a backup plan if the person solves the puzzle. Please consider an alternative, just in case.
If you are unhappy with your puchase you can return the ring for a full refund.
All rings will be shipped by FedEx or DHL and insurance is included in the cost.
