Description from the seller
A captivating piece of bohemian statement jewelry, this authentic vintage "poison" ring features a hidden hinged compartment crafted in solid 925 silver. The high-profile domed crown is set with a vibrant purple amethyst cabochon, surrounded by intricate wirework and granulation. The ornate, heavily textured gallery is accented with applied brass or gold-fill shield motifs on the shoulders, adding a striking mixed-metal contrast. The secure latch mechanism opens to reveal a polished interior cavity. The sturdy, wide band is clearly stamped with an authentic 925 silver purity hallmark on the interior.
