Cocktail Rings

Rings with ornate, eye-catching or gemstone-heavy designs are often called cocktail rings. These statement styles are typically worn for special occasions or for a memorable night out, though they can also be worn to bring excitement to an everyday look as well. Cocktail rings are often vintage-inspired, with gems such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and opals. There are also modern takes on this jewelry style, with trendy cocktail rings in today’s latest designs as well. 

A cocktail ring can be worn on its own or alongside other styles such as a right hand ring. If you’d prefer to let your diamond or gemstone cocktail ring steal the show, consider wearing it as the only ring on your hand or alongside more subtle stacking rings across other fingers.

These rings are usually worn on the right hand, either on the middle finger or the fourth finger next to the pinky. But as with all jewelry, it’s entirely up to the wearer to decide where they’d prefer to wear their platinum, diamond, gemstone or gold cocktail ring.

Many recent jewelry trends lean more toward minimalist looks, but self-expression has never gone out of style. Cocktail rings are considered a great jewelry investment that brings a unique flair. As jewelry trends embrace more maximalist looks, cocktail rings are poised to become even more popular.

This eye-catching jewelry style is linked to the prohibition era. Cocktails began to flourish in 1920s speakeasies, making lesser-quality spirits more palatable. Some people wore their flashiest flapper-style jewels in speakeasies, accessorizing with over-the-top rings and a drink in hand. This gave cocktail rings the name they still carry today. These rings are still worn in celebratory settings and their more subtle styles are often called dinner rings.

Many cocktail rings can serve as large engagement rings. If you are considering getting a cocktail ring as an engagement style, make sure it is made of durable materials such as gold, platinum and genuine gemstones. It's also important to ensure that you’re selecting a ring that matches your recipient's personal style. Some people love the luxurious look of cocktail rings, while others prefer simple engagement rings.
