PAIR OF 14K GOLD PUZZLE RINGS: Sizes 6 and 6 3/4, illegible maker's touch mark to bottom outer bands, 8 grams. ''Originating in the Middle-East many centuries ago ...the predecessors of these rings were given wedding bands by the sheiks, chieftains and other men of high position. If their wives ever removed the rings, the bands would fall apart ...the women were not told how to re-assemble the rings ...thus, the husbands would know or suspect that their wives were not being faithful to their solemn marriage vows.''
