Finding the Right Cocktail-rings for You
A flashy symbol of wealth during the early 20th century, antique and vintage cocktail rings have gained broader appeal in the decades since for the hefty dose of glamour they bring to any ensemble.
Cocktail rings earned their name for their frequent appearances during glitzy cocktail parties at the height of the Prohibition era. Back then, these accessories were seen not only as statement pieces but as statements in and of themselves. They openly represented a sense of freedom and independence as well as a demonstration of opulence. After all, the 1920s heralded the Harlem Renaissance and Art Deco design, and a slew of social and cultural shifts meant that women in particular were breaking from pre–World War I conventions and embracing newfound freedoms to express themselves as individuals.
Women expressly wore cocktail rings on the fingers of their right hand versus the left, which was “reserved” for an engagement ring or wedding band, accessories definitely paid for by a suitor. And for cocktail rings, the bigger the colored gem at the center — which is usually mounted in a high setting — and the more elaborate the design, the stronger the likelihood of being noticed.
Cocktail rings remained a popular piece of jewelry for women until the 1930s, when the Great Depression and the onset of war marked a change in behaviors nationwide. While the 1960s and ’70s saw a return in visibility for the accessory, it wasn’t until the 1980s that cocktail rings once again assumed their position as a beacon of luxury and glitz.
During the 20th century, the range of dazzling cocktail rings seems to have been limitless, from glimmering gold rings set with carved jade diamonds designed by David Webb to Pomellato’s pink quartz confections to striking Gucci butterfly rings with accent diamonds set in a pavé fashion.
So, how do you wear a cocktail ring? Cocktail rings “can be worn for almost anything — dinners, date nights, parties, special events, on the red carpet,” explains David Joseph of New York-based jewelry brand Bochic.
Can you wear cocktail rings with other rings? “In my opinion, cocktail rings should stand on their own since they showcase a large gem in the center,” says Joseph.
These glamorous jewels can be worn inside or outside crowded taverns, in either daytime or nighttime with casual or dressy attire. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of antique and vintage cocktail rings, including those offered by Chanel, whose elegant cocktail rings often feature pearls and, of course, diamonds, and sometimes were styled after showy flowers like the camellia, and Van Cleef & Arpels, whose detailed and intricate designs are viewed as miniature pieces of wearable art.
Questions About Cocktail Ring Used
- What is a cocktail ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A cocktail ring is a large ring typically set with a precious gemstone. These opulent rings are ideal for cocktail parties, hence the name. These rings are designed with bright colors and flashy sizes to attract attention.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A mourning ring is used to memorialize a loved one who recently died. The practice of wearing memorial jewelry in this way began during the Victorian era in England. Today, some people wear antique mourning rings purely for fashion. Shop a collection of mourning rings on 1stDibs.
- What is a spinner ring used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A spinner ring can be a great way to help subdue the wearer's anxiety when used in the right conditions. They can also be used as a way to center oneself during meditation.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, you can use your engagement ring as your wedding ring. Although many people choose to wear a separate wedding band, you're free to have your new spouse slip your engagement ring onto your finger during your wedding ceremony. In this case, you would forego wearing a wedding band entirely. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage engagement rings.
- Why do people use napkin rings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Napkin rings were originally introduced in the 1800s and used as a way to determine whose napkin was whose, so they could be reused several times before washing. Today, they are simply used as decoration. Browse a collection of vintage and contemporary napkin rings on 1stiDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024The fourth finger, or ring finger, is typically the finger used for engagement rings. However, which hand people typically wear engagement rings on varies. The left hand is the most common option in the U.S., Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, France, Ireland, Mexico, the UK, Norway, Poland, Russia, Canada, Australia and other countries. In Italy, Croatia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain and India, engagement rings usually go on the right hand. Explore a large collection of engagement rings on 1stDibs.
- Did the Celts use wedding rings?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023Yes, the Celts did use wedding rings. During wedding festivals, couples exchanged gold, bronze or iron rings that symbolized the signing of the marriage contract. Many Celtic wedding rings featured knotwork designs that represented the coming together of two families. Explore an assortment of wedding rings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Traditionally, many Asian cultures do not use wedding rings. However, wedding rings have become popular even in countries where they are not normally worn due to the influence of Western traditions. This is particularly true for brides. For example, Chinese men typically don't wear wedding rings, but many Chinese women now choose to. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Finger rings were a sign of wealth, status, and knowledge in Ancient Rome. The Romans wore multiple rings at once and favored showy examples. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of authentic Roman rings from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Yes, platinum is used in wedding rings. As the metal of choice for wedding jewelry, platinum offers long-lasting durability, as it is strong and scratch-resistant. The metal also doesn't fade and is unlikely to tarnish or corrode, allowing it to maintain its cool color and sleek appearance with very little need for ongoing maintenance. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of platinum wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023A range of items and accessories can be used instead of wedding rings to celebrate your big day. Some couples exchange other types of jewelry like earrings or bracelets. Another option is to each present one another with a gift to symbolize your vows. For example, the bride might give the groom a watch, while he in turn offers her a heart pendant necklace. Feel free to choose something that is meaningful to you and your partner. Shop a variety of jewelry and timepieces from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Pure gold is typically not used for wedding rings due to its properties. Because it contains no base metals, pure or 24-karat gold is soft and malleable. As a result, it's vulnerable to scratches and breakage. Alloys like 18- and 14-karat gold tend to be stronger and are better suited to making rings. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of gold wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Cartier does indeed use real diamonds for its rings. Cartier chooses only gems with little or no fluorescence, and sources most of its diamonds from RJC-certified companies. Shop a collection of expertly vetted Cartier jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023A variety of stones were used in Art Deco rings. Some commonly used gemstones included sapphires, emeralds, turquoise, coral, rubies, jade and onyx. Makers also created rings out of diamonds during this period. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of Art Deco rings from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023To hold your wedding rings together, you can use an accessory called a ring connector. Available in silver and gold tones and clear designs, connectors usually slip onto each ring and then snap together. For a more permanent option, you can have a jeweler solder the rings to one another. On 1stDibs, find a variety of wedding rings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023Yes, it is okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band. Some people prefer not to wear two separate rings and use the same piece both to symbolize their intent to marry and for their marriage vows. A wedding ring also doesn't have to be a band ring at all. A solitaire, halo or other type of engagement ring featuring a central stone and accent stones can easily serve as a wedding ring. You're free to choose any ring to function as both your engagement and wedding rings. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of wedding rings.
