Vintage 18K, Sapphire & Diamond Cocktail Ring

 Cocktail rings became popular during the Prohibition Era, in the 1920s. Worn as a luxurious rebellion, women would deck themselves out,  showing off large sparkling gems while they sipped their drinks at the speakeasy and parties where Prohibition was ignored. The showy gems ebbed in popularity during World War II, but came back with a bang around the middle of the 20th century, when cocktail parties took off once again, and the "Statement Ring", or "Cocktail Ring" has been going strong ever since! 

This big blue beauty has stunning gold work with a heavy influence of Eastern Indian aesthetic and technique. Accented with diamonds, she will catch all the attention as you casually signal for another round.
