Cocktail Rings
Cocktail rings harken back to the 1920's prohibition and reflect the decadence of that era's style. A cocktail ring is typically a large, bold, and eye-catching ring.
The beautiful rings seen at cocktail parties were named as such because women would wear them on the hand they would hold their cocktail as a way to flaunt their disregard for prohibition laws as well as show off their sense of style. Since the cocktail ring highlighted their rebellion, it also symbolizes liberation.
Historically, these accessories were firmly reserved for the evenings – cocktail parties, dinner parties and black-tie events. Nowadays, this tradition has thankfully changed and many people are wearing their cocktail rings anytime and all the time!
With cocktail rings, the bigger the better and the brighter the ring, the more fascinating the wearer was perceived to be!
