Crazy little Sterling compartment ring!

[fistfulladirt]

Huh? I dug this one lakeside yesterday, anyone have any ideas? Has a tiny locking compartment, never seen one like this. Thanks for lookin', ffd

Thanks and super find!

I believe some rings like this were used to store certain "white powdery" substances so the wearer could get a quick sniff.... or maybe I saw too many episodes of Miami Vice in the '80's.

No, that doesn't make any sence that it would be for cocaine when its clearly a religious ring!! The fish is a Christian symbol that's why the cross is in it, so no Tred I'd have to disagree with you that this ring was made for coke heads.

made to hold tartar sauce. Fish-------tartar sauce----oh, never mind.

I agree with the drug idea. What cop would check a religious ring?
Ever see cruel intentions? She does it out of a crucifix.

It's for poison. Duh!

I was thinking the same thing about not raising suspicions of police.

 

[Tigger]

It's a "prayer box" or "poison" ring. Considering the style, I'd go with prayer.

as old as that ring is and knowing about the political/church involvement, I also would say Poison ring

Makes perfect sense. As someone else already said. Who would look in a religious ring?

Are you sure that ring is old? It looks strikingly familiar to a James Avery ring. The make alot of pieces with an aged finish and chrisitan symbolism. What are the markings?

WOW, I've never seen a christian poison ring before. Nice find.

Regardless of what it is, it is still an interesting find...thanks for sharing

Being a Piglet (Police in training), i would vote it be for something deviant...but i've got a vivid imagination...
