Cocktail Rings

Cocktail rings have been around for many decades and more than ever their popularity is in its peak time now. Bet you didn't know that this timeless piece of jewerely was first designed in the American prohibition era.

They were fashion symbols worn to secret "cocktail" parties organised in secret clubs known as "speakeasy". Women wore them on the fourth finger of the right hand. These oversized ring then came to be known as cocktail rings. Now you know.




Some of my favourite picks at the moment..

Cocktail rings are most popular for formal parties but are fun as well for every day wear.

Tips on rocking cocktail rings:

  • Do wear large studs or pearl earings to compliment the elegance and glamour of your cocktail ring.

  • Do not over accessorize when wearing one. Do not wear other smaller rings (except maybe your wedding ring.)

  • Do ear the ring on your index or middle finger, although this isn't set in stone

  • Do experiment with different rings and clothes and go with whatever makes you feel fun


Do you love them or hate them??

I love them :)
