When it comes to choosing the perfect engagement ring, it can be difficult to find the right style to suit your personality. Do you want something classic and timeless? Something with a bit of edge? Or something completely unique? If you’re struggling to make a decision, why not opt for a stunning diamond cocktail ring? These rings are the perfect way to add a touch of glamour to your look, and they’re perfect for any special occasion – whether that’s your engagement, wedding, or just a big night out.
Cocktail rings started in the 1920s when fashionable women wore them to show off their wealth and social status. Today, they remain as a fashion accessory but are also popular as engagement and anniversary rings. While they are not very common, cocktail rings are an eye-catching way to add a touch of glamour to any outfit.
A cocktail ring is most often used to refer to rings that are large and decorative and which feature a centre stone that is significantly larger than the surrounding stones. Cocktail rings are usually worn on the index finger or middle finger and are often the only ring worn on that hand. While cocktail rings can be made from various materials, they are most commonly made from gold or silver and feature a variety of precious and semi-precious stones. The centre stone is typically a diamond but can also be a pearl, coloured gemstone such as sapphire, ruby, or emerald. The surrounding stones are usually smaller diamonds but can also be other gemstones, pearls, or even crystals. We have listed the different cocktail rings to help you pick the one you want to wear forever!
