Poison rings have been in existence for thousands of years, their roots stretching as far back as ancient Greece. Poison rings are so named for their dark past, as they were known to be used to poison others and oneself. Poison rings are often band rings with hidden containers beneath a hinged cover, within which poison was concealed. While the rings were originally intended for poison, they can be utilized as locket-like items, to secure photos or other precious mementos. Agates are a semi-precious variety of gemstones composed of chalcedony and quartz layers that vary highly in grain and coloration, and usually show multi-color bands. It comes in many different colors including white, red, black, yellow, brown, or pink.
