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

Vintage Avon Bird of Paradise Poison 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 hidden adjustable band that fits up to a size 9. The substantial size makes this piece a standout cocktail ring.
This piece was introduced in 1970 as the "Bird of Paradise" ring. Faux jade stone carving featuring an exotic bird. ornate gold metal base and hinged perfume/glace compact. The perfume in this ring is long gone but the tiny secret compartment can be used for a photo, diary key, or your favorite perfume solid (I like Burt's Bees 'Baby Bee').
1" wide by 1 1/4" tall and approximate 5/8" rise from band. Marked "AVON" on interior locket door.
