Medieval mystique meets runway-ready glamour. Poison rings—once reliquaries thought to ward off illness and misfortune—evolved into Renaissance tokens of aristocratic romance, the finger-sized equivalent of a locket. Wendy Brandes channels that storied legacy into a couture collaboration with GiGi Caron: the Juana Peekaboo Skull Ring. Named after Queen Juana “la Loca,” it features a diamond skull-and-crossbones cap that flips open to reveal a sculpted skull with striking white sapphire eyes. Cast in 18k yellow gold, this statement piece retails for $7,000.
