I love jewelry but costume cocktail rings have to be some of my favorite pieces to shop for, and I have to say I have quite a little collection going... The cocktail ring got its name due to the fact is was a dramatic large ring, worn at cocktail parties. The cocktail ring was especially popular to wear during US prohibition at illegal cocktail parties, as such a ring flaunted not only the fact that one was drinking illegally, but also that one was doing it with style. LOL!!
The popularity of the cocktail ring gained in the 1940s and 1950s, as cocktail parties continued to be popular events. Although cocktail parties are less common now, wearing a cocktail ring with huge diamonds or other large precious or semi-precious gems is still popular. The thing I think that draws me to cocktail rings is the fact they are so versatile. I will throw on a big cocktail ring with everything from a sexy dress out clubbing to jeans and a tank to run to the grocery store. Even when you are dressed down a large ring with a bunch of bling seems have a way of making you feel glamorous.
