We are excited to offer a unique Victorian-revival poison ring/ locket ring. This special ring opens so you can place a photo/ object/ love letter/ keepsake inside. It is likely from around the 1970s so it’s vintage. Due to the articulated mechanism, it is very very rare to find these in great functional condition AND even rarer to find one with a juicy garnet cabochon, ornate fleur de lis prong setting, and carved face. This ring is the definition of one-of-a-kind.
Why we love it
It is very rare to see locket rings or poison rings in general, and especially with a juicy garnet cabochon. This one has a very unique etched design and vampy vintage look. Similar examples made with less gold go for a much higher price than this but passing along the deal we got on this rare novelty jewelry piece. This piece is a hefty 8.4g.
Details
🤍 well-made and crafted of solid 14k gold and hefty at 8.4g
🤍 fits like a size 6, sizable, size 5.75 on the mandrel
🤍 likely from the 1970s (approx 60 years old)
🤍 14k hallmark has slightly faded but still visible, tested as 14k solid gold
🤍 hinge and closure are fully functional
🤍 in overall excellent preowned condition with minimal wear commensurate with age, the garnet cabochon has some mild hard-to-see scratches commensurate with age (60 years old), hinge and lock function well, setting is a bit skewed which has been factored into pricing, but this is not noticeable when worn and likely a feature since its construction and not a defect

Let customers speak for us
from 5 reviewsI use this bolt clasp almost every day. It’s a perfect connector for a charm jumble. Arthritis in my hands makes it hard for me to connect most chain clasps. This bolt, which stays open until you click it closed makes all my chains easier to use. Love it!
Tris & Rue made my buying experience so easy and the owner had great communication and even gave care instructions. I am so in love with my ring and look forward to purchasing from Tris & Rue again.
Tris and Rue is one of my absolute favorite new (to me) places to browse and purchase vintage and antique goodies. Not only is the inventory beautifully curated, but Patricia is the sweetest, kindest soul. Such helpful and thoughtful service and incredible product. OBSESSED with my new cigar band!!!
This antique watch chain has turned out to be a perfect "anchor" item in my jewelry collection and a piece I turn to frequently. The chain is just as described - solid and substantial, with a gorgeous patina and clear stamps on each link. I love having the option to add charms or pendants using either the bolt clasp or the dog clip. It is a nice length for a vintage/antique watch chain and can be made even versatile with a connector, chain, or bead extender. Patricia was kind and patient in sharing information and photos of the chain, and made the decision-making process so easy. I ended up not only adding a beautiful antique piece to my jewelry box, but also learning about vintage and antique jewelry from an expert!
Cat charms are so hard to find and rarely as lovely as this one is! I love the oval shape of the piece and the very natural texture. It’s also cat approved!
