##Rebus solutions

Top "row"

rehydrated (re-high-DRATED), drawing a blank (accidentally found by Rubio), downhearted

Middle "row"

lactate (words with "TATE" removed), brandishes (found by Techidiot, with help from Rubio), land down under

Bottom "row"

black sheep (found by Rubio), subindex (sub in decks), windows

##Assembly

We can arrange the pieces into a 3×3 grid so that each pair of adjacent words has a three-letter string in common.

(I've cleared up ambiguities by putting the missing number in the top left, and using the next step to disambiguate between the remaining two possibilities.)

##Decoding

Now we look at the numbers in the corners:

In the middle, diamonds are formed with the triangles in each corner of the original tiles. Reading across the middles, we see the numbers 03 09 / 18 03 // 21 09 / 20 19, which can be decoded with A1Z26 to get CIRCUITS.

##Final Rebus

So we have the word "circuits", written inside diamond-shaped sections. Grandma must've wanted diamond rings!
