{"product_id":"le-smoking-rhinestone-ring-w-nude-stanhope","title":"LE SMOKING Rhinestone Ring w\/ Nude Stanhope","description":"\u003cp\u003eSize 11.5, not resizable. c. 1890-1910. Woman smoking a cig inside, wheat pattern on shoulders, shiny chrome, rhinestone on top.  Invented in the 19th century, micro-miniature Stanhope lenses were originally used for innocent souvenir views, religious imagery, and portraits. But humans are human. And their potential for discreetly viewing forbidden images was quickly recognized. By the late Victorian era, pornographic Stanhopes offered a way to carry explicit photographs in plain sight, invisible to almost everyone else. The way to carry them close at hand (pun intended) was in a ring. The lens in this one contains an erotic photograph. People in the Victorian - WW1 eras were not nearly as prudish as they would have liked us to believe. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erica Weiner LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53408384352538,"sku":"IG_1111_2026_001","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/le-smoking-rhinestone-ring-w-nude-stanhope","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
