A powder for your heart ache, or a sweet for your true love. Beautifully handcrafted in 9ct yellow gold this Victorian style poison ring has a lockable chamber to store whatever your heart desires.
This piece is known as a poison ring, a design that became popular in the 16th century, used to slip poison into an enemy’s food or drink. They have also been used throughout history to carry perfume, locks of hair, devotional relics, messages and other keepsakes.
