Vintage 1970s Sterling SILVER 925 Photo LOCKET Medieval GARNET Gold Poison Ring

































A fabulous vintage 1970's sterling silver poison ring.

Popular in Europe during the sixteenth century, such rings were made with a secret container to hold poison; easy to open and slip into an enemy's drink.

Since then, rings in this style have popularly been used to carry a photo, lock of hair or other keepsake.

Stamped 925 to inner band.

The ring has a superbly crafted medieval look to it; the front has a garnet cabochon mounted to centre, with four circular gold finished sections.

The sides of the ring are beautifully & ornately detailed with even back of ring band beaded top and bottom.

The front section opens on a hinge to reveal the typical deep well, in this case holding a vintage photo of a young woman. Closes securely with a locking clasp.

There is something quite wonderful about the 'secret compartment', unknown to others!!

Approx Ring size:  UK S   US 9.25

The front of the ring is 2cm top to bottom by 0.9cm wide.

Weight: 6.78gms.

In good vintage condition; please view and supersize all the photographs to get a clear representation of item on offer and its condition. The images are a MAJOR part of the description.

IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ
 

Buyers should read the description in full and study all the photographs (which themselves form part of the description). The images can be enlarged to show more detail. Please ask any questions PRIOR to bidding. You should also check item measurements carefully.
 

Please note-any boxes shown in photos are for display purposes only and are not included in the sale (unless otherwise stated). 

By bidding on this item you are agreeing to these terms and conditions and have satisfied yourself that the item is what you want.

In the highly unlikely event that an item has to be returned due to buyer believing it has been misdescribed....I will absolutely not refund any item that has been returned altered in any way, including corrosive tests having been perfomed on metals which have left an unsightly (often permanent) blemish. If in doubt, contact me BEFORE carrying out any such tests.

Finally all bidding 'errors' resulting in a winning bid will be treated in the same way as 'non paying bidders', a dispute filed to recover fees and a strike on the non paying bidders account.

The aim is to make this a pleasurable experience for both buyer and seller.

HAPPY BIDDING!!!
