So you’ve got yourself a lovely chain puzzle ring but you’re having some trouble putting it back together, right? Well, no problems, we’re here to help. Our chain puzzle ring instructions are intended for the chain rings crafted by our jewellers. However these chain puzzle ring instructions should work for others as well. 

Here are the steps to follow: 

1.    Find the end band that is stamped “Jose”.

2.    Hold the stamped band in your right hand with the rounded side against your thumb and the flat part against your forefinger.

3.    Bring the next band up and fit its notch into the notch of the end band, then fold the bands down.

4.    The bands should now fit together, but they may not fit perfectly as the next band will be between them – note the open loop.

5.    Bring the next band up towards you, fitting it into the open loop.

6.    Then flip the band over until the notch fits in with the notches of the first two bands.

7.    Bring the band down and into place.

8.    Repeat steps 5 to 7 for each additional band on your chain ring until you have completed your ring. 

If you’re still having difficulty solving your ring, try turning the bands in the opposite direction when fitting them together. This may work for many of the chain puzzle rings made in the middle east.
