During the Prohibition era of the 1920s, a celebratory cocktail was as big a status symbol as anything you could wear. Balancing a Gin Rickey or a French 75 between your fingers was step one. Step two was about making sure that everyone noticed your illicit beverage. Women of the era looked to bigger-than-life rings to complement their glasses and draw attention to their illicit beverages. They gave them a new name, too— cocktail rings. And, the name endured.
A way to flaunt feminine independence, cocktail rings were usually donned on the right hand in blatant contrast to the hand reserved for wedding bands and engagement rings— a clear signal that this was a ring a woman had bought with her own money. As a toast to the free-spirited flappers and a women’s right to shine, we’ve created the Amethyst Cocktail Ring. Serving up four carats of decadent purple amethyst in sterling silver finished in lustrous gold, this ring is intoxicatingly beautiful. And, the price? Definitely toast-worthy.
