Essentially a poison ring is one that would have a top that would be hinged with a secret compartment located under the top. These types of rings were used for many purposes including hiding poison within that would have some nefarious purpose. The rings may also be used for carrying a bit of snuff or perfume or other item that the wearer would use.

Rickiowa2009 - Congrats on a cool find.
