Description

Substantial sterling silver poison ring featuring a raised champagne-toned smoky quartz stone and a fully functional hidden compartment beneath the hinged top.

The stone lifts to reveal a concealed interior chamber — the defining feature of a true poison ring. Historically associated with holding perfume, medicine, or personal keepsakes, poison rings are now collected for their mystery, symbolism, and bold sculptural presence.

This ring is crafted in solid .925 sterling silver (marked) and finished with gold vermeil accent elements (gold over sterling), adding warmth and contrast to the intricate silverwork. The vermeil accents are decorative and intentional — typical of quality revival poison rings.

The smoky quartz displays a warm champagne-brown hue with natural depth and reflective clarity, well suited to the traditional poison ring style.

This is not a novelty or faux locket ring — it is a properly constructed poison ring with a secure hinge, interior clasp, and substantial weight.
