In response to clips of hair and rings., written by P. Bingham on June 02, 1998 at 20:57:52

To L and T indexA second thought to this. I do not off-hand have such a ring to post (not that I could post it if I had one!), but If anyone is interested in seeing that sort of ring, they were not entirely different from the Italian Renaissance (forgot how to spell that!) rings which often contained, not a lock of hair, but very deadly poison (These rings would likely have more detail than a Regency one, of course, and may be more substantial). That particular subject being very well recorded, you should have no trouble finding a picture of one if my description doesn't quite signify.
