HISTORY AND MYTHOLOGY
These rings are often called Puzzle Rings, Turkish Harem Rings and/or Turkish Promise Rings.
It is generally agreed that the puzzle ring’s country of origin is Turkey, The main story is that in ancient times a Turkish nobleman was so in love with his wife that he had a special ring designed for 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 Hannah searches for is forged in the shape of a rose.
The ring described in the book sounds like it is the Rose Design Puzzle Ring that is sold in our Store.
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.
Most of the Rings that we have listed are available in Solid 14 kt yellow Gold, White Gold, Tri-Color Gold and other precious metals.
