This week's post is a bit late and I apolagize. I've been fighting my allergies non-stop this week. Your all in for a treat today, this post is about a certain peice of jewelry I have recently fell in love with: Poison Rings. This is a ring that has a compartment which was used to carry small amounts of toxic substances, but that is not the case today.

More modern rings like this have been used to carry perfume, locks of hair, devotional relics, messages and even blood. Artists would paint tiny portraits of loved ones, to be carried in what was called a “locket ring,” which was popular during the Renaissance. By the 17th century, jewelers were creating locket rings in the shape of caskets which served as mementos for mourners. These were called “funeral rings.”, as seen in picture 2 .Rings with compartments are also called “box” rings or “socket” rings
