I love this scene from The Sopranos. Tony and his murderous mother Livia are fighting about her future, including the dispensation of her good jewelry. My Livia Poison Ring wasn’t inspired by Livia Soprano, though I’m sure she would have found it useful. Livia Poison Ring in 18K yellow gold and diamonds© Wendy Brandes 2007-2008Photo…
