From the Power Ring to the Statement Ring
Cocktail rings- a symbol of independence and personal style.
In the 1990s, the cocktail ring was an emblem of power, worn on the right hand to symbolize women's autonomy. This extravagant ring was testament to their love for creativity, fashion, and a unique sense of individuality. The cocktail ring of that era was replete with colour, boldness and a dramatic flair.
The cocktail ring origins trace back to the 1920s during America’s prohibition era. Despite the ban on alcoholic beverages, illegal parties blossomed, giving rise to cocktail parties. Much like the women of today, they celebrated their freedom in a myriad of ways, including their distinctive style. Cocktail rings echoed their burgeoning freedom and prosperity.
