this ring be absolutely gorgeous and I havent take it off since recieve it . but when buy this ring , be careful not to take the string off of the band . this string protect you from well ... insanity . I unfortunately take off the string and my ring separate into the 4 separate band . luckily I find a website that give I instruction on how to reassemble it . my dad put it back together and it be fine , but I have to admit I be a little distraut about how there be no indication or warn tell people not to take it off . if this do happen to you , google `` puzzle ring solution '' and there be many website to guide you in restore you ring to normal .
