Strong-box Ring (2008. IT) Ring 118.13


Strong-box Ring (2008. IT) Ring 118.13
Originally uploaded by Blind Spot Jewellery

Iron poison ring, made from a block of iron. The bottom of the chamber and the lid are made of pure iron. The hinge and the locker ring are silver.
The bottom of the chamber is inlayed into the body of the ring.

The "IIXIIXIIXII" signs on the bottom of the ring band are protective motifs they were used on old padlocks.

This ring -like my other poison rings - represents to me the desire to keep, save and protect something.
