poison ring
Lethal secret compartment
A poison ring is a finger ring with a hinged compartment, historically associated with concealing poison for covert delivery into an enemy's drink.
Despite the sinister name, most were used for holding keepsakes, perfume, or portraits of loved ones.
The design remains popular in jewelry, now purely decorative or for holding small mementos: She kept a lock of her daughter's hair in a poison ring.
