3 Circus Series Pony. There were variations made.

5 Borgia Pill Rings These were marketed as Borgia Pill Rings. They came out before the solid perfume rings. These are also known as poison rings.

7 Wrapped Rings Larry Kasoff called these wrapped rings - the 4 with very large stones encased in 24K plated goldtone. I put the other blue one in this group because of the size of the stone.
