The Cocktail Ring

RingSpotters loves cocktail rings. We love the bold colors, spirited designs, and chic edge they give an outfit. Who knew that cocktail rings became popular during the prohibition in the US?  Apparently, women wore these fashionable pieces at illegal "cocktail" parties -- always dressing up to the nines and showing of their glamorous bold rings. Soon enough, these cocktail rings became status symbols in the '40's and '50's and have continued to be fashionable, chic, and definitely fun to wear.

This week, we would like to feature to some fabulous cocktail rings we have received.  From colorful gems to diamond studded pieces, they are definitely excellent accessories and eye candy galore.

The following post is not good for me, but I've got to tell you.

I'm roaming the internet like a scavenger, looking for places to post links to my website to increase my popularity....and I found your blog -- I went mouahahah fresh meat.

And I fell in love with the blog.

Man, you're making me compulsively love rings.

I don't know why, but it reminded me that when I was a kid, I was fascinated but gems and cool looking precious stones.

So the hell with my website -- I'll be coming back here.

Thanks!

Olivier

I can't believe that this Amethyst cocktail ring is so old.This ring made from a big brown colored diamond and yellow gold is stunning and awesome.This is a new design which is really admirable.
