These types rings became popular in Europe during the sixteenth century. The poison ring was used either to slip poison into an enemy's food or drink, or to facilitate the suicide of the wearer in order to escape capture or good torture. In Italy, pouring to somebody a drink holding the bottle with the back of the hand facing downward, so to let something drop from a ring bezel, is called versare alla traditora (“traitor's way pouring”) and still considered offensive.
