This unique piece had a previous life in Turkey.
The story: Traditionally, rings with multiple bands attached with a bar and set with gemstones are called Harem or Turkish rings. Their origin is said to date back to the Ottoman Empire, where the sultans would offer this jewel to their favorite. Many legends exist around this style, including a tale that a jealous Turkish king gave this intricate ring to his wife so that she wouldn’t have time to put all the rings back on if she was caught during adultery.  The harem-style ring was made popular again during the nineteenth century with the Orientalist movement.
