Deadly Nightshade Ring

£130.00
Only 1 available

This ring was hand carved in wax to resemble the deadly nightshade plant, it was then cast into recycled silver.

  • The berries of deadly nightshade contain a sweet black juice, and are mainly eaten by birds, sheep and rabbits.

  • All parts of the deadly nightshade plant contain tropane alkaloids, a group of toxic chemicals. When eaten they induce strong hallucinations, delirium, headaches and loss of balance. While one leaf or two berries is enough to kill an adult human, the root has the most toxins.

  • Deadly nightshade is known as belladonna (beautiful lady in Italian) and originates from folklore of Italian women using drops made of the plant to dilate pupils and produce a seductive gaze.

This piece is also available to try on in person at Silver & Steel Studios, Bristol, an independent gallery in Bedminster. Book a private shopping appointment or drop in during open hours. Use the dropdowns above to check available metals and sizes. For lead times and further details, see the dropdowns below, or head to the FAQs for anything else.
