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 25 reviewsThank you so much for the great star. It is such great quality and it was an amazing customer experience to buy from you.
I became aware of Tris & Rue when Emma from Bauble Magpie boosted their raffle fundraiser for the LA fires. As an Angeleno and woman business owner this spoke to me. Add to this that I have 5 small star tattoos (so far), and finding the Little Stars volumes felt like a bright spot.
It took several volumes to move from loving the idea to finding THE ONE. It’s true what they say about these stars calling out to certain people at the right moment. I just had to have this one, and she’s become one of the most important pieces of jewelry in my collection - and will remain so for my life. Thank you. What a gorgeous, beautifully made piece.
I absolutely love my star! It is even more beautiful in person.
I love the little star collections , they feel so good on the neck and to play with in hand. I waited until I found a little star that resonated with me and I couldn't be happier
I missed out on an emerald Little Star during a drop & Patricia so kindly reached out & offered to me a newly made emerald star with photos AND video. Not only is Tris and Rue a small biz with amazing service, I was immediately enamored when I opened my Little Star. The weight and feel of it is comforting and perfection. If a Little Star speaks to you, adopt it knowing it's going to shine in your collection.
She's such a pretty thing. So very excited to wear her out and about. Beautifully made!
I just received my custom Dreamer Ring from Patricia at Tris and Rue, and I couldn’t be happier! Patricia was amazing—she’s super knowledgeable, super friendly, and got everything done so quickly. The ring is absolutely perfect—beyond gorgeous, timeless, and everything I dreamed of. If you’re looking for custom jewelry that feels magical, Patricia is the one to go to! 💎✨
I got the larger size of the 14k bolt clasp and I love it. Works as a connector and a way to make a charm stand out. Very well made. I would order from Tris and Rue again.
Love this little star! She is a doll 🥹✨
Love this new addition to my collection. Can’t wait for the colored stone creations!!!
I was eyeing this piece for a while and finally bit the bullet and treated myself and I couldn’t be happier. Exactly as I expected it, i think it even looks just like my cat!
Incredible piece. I LOVE it. Highly recommend.
I had been eyeing her bolt clasps for a long time and was finally able to pull the trigger. It definitely did not disappoint. Amazing quality, as described and priced very fairly. But what really struck me was the amazing person behind the business. Gracious, knowledgeable and truly the kindest person. So wonderful and easy to engage with. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
I was looking for the perfect clasp and tris and rue definitely has it, I signed up for emails to be the first to grab one and I don't regret it at all. love it
Love the clasps I purchased and have been using them every day since they arrived. Patricia was super helpful and prompt with communication and shipping. Highly recommend Tris and Rue.
