Vintage Avon Patterns Solid Perfume Ring

I am such a fan of Avon's early line of perfume glace jewelry. Avon got a few things right with their clever take on the "poison ring." For instance, the sturdy hidden adjustable band that fits up to a size 9.

This piece is Avon's cocktail style "Patterns" ring. Gold tone metal features faux onyx stone perfume locket that measures 7/8" wide by 1 1/4" high. The perfume is long gone but, the secret compartment can house a favorite photo, solid perfume or diary key.

This ring comes in its original packaging but has been previously worn.

Vintage Condition: Excellent
