A poison ring or pillbox ring is a type of ring with a container under the bezel or inside the bezel itself which could be used to hold poison or another substance. The poison ring was used to slip poison into an enemy's food or drink. A powder or liquid poison was stored in these instances. In other cases, the poison ring was used to facilitate the suicide of the wearer in order to preclude capture or torture. People more commonly died from suicide rather than murder caused by the poison ring. The purpose of the compartment in the ring was not only limited to poison. Rings with such compartments were long before used for other reasons, before, during, and after the peak of poison rings.
There were many uses for such rings. A very popular use for these rings was to store perfume, special items, talismans, keepsakes or small portraits.[5] People would even store the teeth, hair, and bones of the dead, especially of saints or martyrs,[6] because it was believed to protect and cast away misfortune.[6] It was even thought to create and bond with God through it. Carrying holy relics was believed to bring happiness and good health, and to be in the good graces of God.[6] These rings were also known as locket, socket, compartment, box, and funeral rings.[6]
