The story: traditionally, rings with severals bands attached with a bar and set with gemstones are called Harem or Turkish rings. Their origin would date back to the Ottoman Empire , where Sultans would offer this piece of jewelry to their favorite. Many legends exist around this style, one counting that a jealous turkish king offered this complex ring to his wife so she wouldn’t have the time to put back all the bands if she was caught during adultery.  The harem style ring was made popular again during XIXth century with the orientalist movement.
