This circa 1950 sterling silver “poison” or compartment ring has a Modernist design of twisted wire in a coil around an amethyst cabochon. The face is 7/8” wide and ½” deep. When you lift the bead on the amethyst’s setting, the secret reservoir is revealed. Use it to store a scented cotton puff, a necessary pill, a wayward notion, or scorpion poison donated by a generous insect? Your choice, we don't judge.

The ring has a 3/16” wide adjustable shank band; it is currently size 8 but can certainly be moved up or down a few sizes. The hallmark is RRO with Eagle Assay 122 (upside down in relation to the “Hecho en Mexico, RRO” circular mark).

The condition is wonderful and we have not polished it as the patination under the coils was applied to enhance the design. Whether you choose to charm or chill your admirers this vintage poison ring will surely alert them to your unique style. And if you chose the scorpion poison option, maybe Frog should alert them to that...
