Stunning & Luxurious Cocktail Rings

What Are Cocktail Rings?

Cocktail rings are oversized rings with a large stone in the center, surrounded by smaller diamonds or colored stones. The sparkling gemstone at the center of the ring draws attention, while the tiny stones offer a subtle shimmer. Sometimes confused with cluster rings, people wear cocktail rings as statement jewelry pieces. The fashion of cocktail rings began in the United States during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s. These rings were designed for women attending cocktail parties. At that time, precious stones such as emeralds, rubies, diamonds, and sapphires were used as the center stone, with tiny pave set diamonds surrounding them. The term ‘cocktail ring’ emerged and quickly became a symbol of beauty and excess that fit right in line with the spirit of the times!
