The puzzle ring was a series of golden bands that could be manipulated into one ring. A puzzle ring created by the dwarves was given by Orik to Eragon on their journey to Ellesméra. The elf Nari solved the puzzle ring in moments, though Eragon was unable to solve it until after the Blood-Oath Celebration, once he had been changed into an elf-human hybrid. Although Nari solved the puzzle quickly, he recognized its cleverness.
