It is recorded that Hannibal and Demostenes wore “poison rings” and that Cesare Borgia had a ring bearing lions claws that could inject poison during a handshake. Hopefully such rings are no longer put to that use.

“Inspired by this history, Wendy Brandes has designed a line of poison rings for GiGi Caron. The Juana Peekaboo Skull Ring was named for Queen Juana ‘La Loca of Spain, also known as Joan the Mad. The diamond skull and crossbones cover opens to reveal a skull with large, white sapphire eyes. Made from 18k yellow gold, the ring sells for $7,000.”
