I am pleased to offer from my private collection this extraordinary antique poison ring which is a stunning example of Victorian-era memento mori symbolism. Finely crafted in gilt vermeil over silver, the ring features a white enamel skull with haunting realism and deep symbolic meaning.

Light wear and minor enamel crazing consistent with age; hinge functions perfectly.

This piece is further unique as a poison ring, blending sentiment with mystery and intrigue.  A Rare Collector’s Gem: Whether you’re a collector of mourning jewelry, a fan of Victorian symbolism, or simply someone with an eye for unusual antique treasures, this ring is a museum-worthy addition to any fine jewelry collection.  Ships fully insured with tracking.  Worldwide shipping available.  Questions welcome!
