"Jose Grant has been making puzzle rings for over 70 years."
Originating in the Middle-East many centuries ago, the predecessors of these rings were given as wedding bands by the sheiks, chieftains, and other men of high position. If their wives ever removed the rings the bands would fall apart. Since the women were never told how to reassemble the rings their husbands would know or suspect their wives were not being faithful to their solemn marriage vows.
In Europe the two band puzzle rings were used for weddings to symbolize the bond between spouses. Although the rings would sometimes come undone they could never fully separate from one another.
The rings would later serve as gifts from the father of the bride to the groom on the day of the marriage. The puzzle was meant to calm the groom's excitement by keeping him busy until the wedding.
Today the rings continue to be used as wedding bands, fine pieces of jewelry and challenging puzzles alike."
