This type of 19th century stacked ring is commonly referred to as a "harem" ring - a name derived from its *loose* interpretation of the of the Turkish wedding / puzzle ring. The only puzzling part is how the Victorians translated Ottoman culture - which they were obsessed with - into THIS. It's not a true representation of anything Turkish, but rather a Victorian fantasy of Turkey that might have made a 19th century French or English woman feel a tad more exotic. Each of the bands has a slightly different texture.
