Vintage Mexican Made sterling silver poison ring set with darkish brown gemstones. These types of rings became popular in Europe during the sixteenth century. The poison ring was used either to slip poison into an enemy's food or drink, or to facilitate the suicide of the wearer in order to escape capture or torture. In Italy, pouring to somebody a drink holding the bottle with the back of the hand facing downward, so to let something drop from a ring bezel, is called versare alla traditora (“traitor's way pouring”) and still considered offensive.
Secret stash rings like this have been used throughout history to carry perfume, locks of hair, devotional relics, messages and other keepsakes.
