Cocktail Rings

Jewelry type

About

Cocktail rings are bold, oversized jewelry pieces known for their eye-catching designs and vibrant gemstones. Originating in the 1920s during the Prohibition era, these rings symbolized rebellion and independence. They typically feature a large center gemstone or an array of smaller stones in intricate patterns. The use of materials like gold, platinum, and mixed metals adds to their versatility and appeal. Cocktail rings are often worn on special occasions to add elegance and sophistication to an outfit. They are characterized by their size, covering a significant portion of the finger, and their elaborate settings, such as bezel or pavé. Modern designs incorporate a wide range of gemstones and unconventional shapes, making them suitable for both formal and casual events. Traditionally worn on the right hand, cocktail rings now offer flexibility in how they are styled, reflecting personal taste and fashion trends.
