Collection: Cocktail Rings

Cocktail rings, also known as statement rings, are larger-than-normal rings. They usually showcase an oversized gem or an extravagant design. Statement rings can help you express your style and personality, or to pull together a look.

A 1920’s symbol of feminism

Cocktail rings were born in the USA during the 1920s. Several political and social trends contributed to their invention. Firstly, the Prohibition Law had made alcohol illegal. Secondly, women were becoming more independent than before, demanding the right to vote, and seeking work outside of the home, thus making an income of their own.

As a result, independent “flapper girls” began rebelling against the social norm. This included going out to illicit speakeasy parties on their own, wearing fancy, short cocktail dresses and extravagant jewellery.
