I was looking for a picture of the coat when I came upon this clip, which to my joy has a poison ring in it. I had completely forgotten about the poison ring!<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4C0og8f3yG8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Please note that all my poison rings are designed for entertainment purposes only, not homicide! You must be law-abiding to wear my jewelry. That said, allow me to introduce you to my latest merry murderess, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eadburh\">Queen Edburga<\/a> (also spelled Eadburh). This Anglo-Saxon queen was an enthusiastic poisoner of her husband&#8217;s enemies, but when she accidentally offed her husband she had to hightail it out of town. She wound up in the court of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Charlemagne\">Charlemagne<\/a>, who was quite taken with her. He offered her a choice for her next spouse: himself or his son. She picked the son. Wrong answer! Charlemagne said, &#8220;Had you chosen me, you would have had both of us. But, since you chose him, you shall have neither.&#8221; And life went downhill from there for the incorrigible Edburga, but I suspect that she had some good times along the way.<\/p>\n<p>My Edburga rings are made with blackened sterling silver and 18K gold.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/pro-detail.php?id=236&amp;collect=true\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_gTmdbGeiE-E\/Rv1bMldafCI\/AAAAAAAAAts\/aBwPoU2pXMc\/s320\/Edburga_RoseQuartz_Closed.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115345023534791714\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edburga Ring in rose quartz, shown closed<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Edburga Ring  \u00a9 Wendy Brandes 2007-2008<\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/muggphoto.com\/\">John Muggenborg<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/pro-detail.php?colid=28&amp;collect=true&amp;id=235\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_gTmdbGeiE-E\/Rv1bQ1dafDI\/AAAAAAAAAt0\/4uLYT8cC06w\/s320\/Edburga_BlueTopaz_Open.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115345096549235762\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edburga Ring in blue topaz, shown open<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"> Edburga Ring  \u00a9 Wendy Brandes 2007-2008<\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/muggphoto.com\/\">John Muggenborg<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Price available upon request.
