Best cocktail rings for party season

Every wondered why the cocktail ring was so-called? The habit comes form the 1920s during prohibition when women wore big jewels to draw attention to the illegal drinks in their hands. Today, big, bold rings add attention-grabbing colour to party dresses. Use them to provide sparkling contrast to LBDs and the season’s statement velvets and brocades - or to style up a pair of ripped jeans, probably the easiest way for day-to-night dressing. The key to a good cocktail ring? It’s a conversation-starter, an ice-breaker, the cause of sharp intakes of breath. Enjoy.
