A puzzle ring is a jewelry ring made up of multiple interconnected bands, which is a type of mechanical puzzle most likely developed as an elaboration of the European gimmal ring. The puzzle ring is also sometimes called a "Turkish wedding ring" or "harem ring." According to popular legend, the ring would be given by the husband as a wedding ring, because if the wife removed it (presumably to commit adultery), the bands of the ring would fall apart, and she would be unable to reassemble it before its absence would be noticed. However, a puzzle ring can be easily removed without the bands falling apart.

  • Pusselringen är ett pussel som består av fyra till tolv sammanlänkade ringar. När dessa är rätt sammansatta kan man använda den som en fingerring. Ringen bärs ofta som tecken på tillhörighet av någon grupp, till exempel en utlandsbaserad militärenhet. Ringarna köptes tidigare traditionsenligt av den lokala guldsmeden i missionsområdet. Detta har blivit mer och mer otillgängligt de senaste åren och således säljs mer och mer ringar på internet. (sv)
  • 傳統的拼圖戒是戒指的一種,由4,6,8或12個互鎖的環組成。現代的設計可能會有3,5或7個環。拼圖戒的重新組合是一種,自文藝復興時期開始,就有許多義大利製或是英國製的拼圖戒,在北美也越來越流行。 拼圖戒是從發展而來,重合戒指會作為婚戒,若戴戒指的人為了欺騙其伴侶而戒指取下,就無法將它再戴回去。 (zh)

  • A puzzle ring is a jewelry ring made up of multiple interconnected bands, which is a type of mechanical puzzle most likely developed as an elaboration of the European gimmal ring. The puzzle ring is also sometimes called a "Turkish wedding ring" or "harem ring."

However, a puzzle ring can be easily removed without the bands falling apart. In Sweden, Norway and Finland, puzzle rings are often carried by military veterans (in Norway the rings are often called the "Lebanon ring" after military people have served in the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon UNIFIL), where the number of rings correspond to the number of tours made, starting at 4 rings for 1 tour (mostly for Sweden, not usually for Norwegian veterans). In Finland you can use the ring if you have served more than 6 months. (en)
