Origins of the Cocktail Ring
To accompany the dresses women wore to after-dinner socials where people mingled over cocktails - the cocktail ring added boldness and sparkle!
Expensive stones like diamonds and emeralds started the trend but soon became less a requirement and more a preference; although they certainly had their own class of brilliance. Still, from the rich and famous to the poor and shameless precious, semi-precious and faux alike were the trend of the day.
Actresses of the last century like Lauren Bacall, Liz Taylor and Audrey Hepburn were known to don these radiant pieces.
So who says you can't paint the peacock?

The Possibilites Are Endless!
Some of the most popular cocktail rings are shaped like animals, insects, sea creatures and wrought with materials like leather, wood and glass.From Dannity Duck's Pave Cocktail Ring to 3-D Elephants, Multi-Color Frogs and Snakes with Champagne-Colored Stones there is no limit to what you can find.
If you love to collect animals of all types there's a cocktail ring to match.
One of my personal favorite classics is the beautiful 14k Yellow Gold Cognac Quartz and Garnet Ring by Duneier of NY. Some of the great things about the piece is that it balances a traditional but contemporary look and has this amazing, deep cognac brandy color. It's rich, unique, bold and a show-stopper hands down.
