The popularity of the “Cocktail Ring” grew during the 1940s and 1950s
when cocktail parties were popular and even today wearing a cocktail
ring with a huge diamond or other large precious and semi precious stone
makes a statement for the wearer.
Generally worn at formal and “dress up” occasions such as parties,
theatre productions, movie premieres and awards ceremonies, it boldly
says that the wearer is a self-confident and self-assured personality
who is always in style.
“The cocktail ring is meant to be a large and dramatic ring, which
flaunts the fact that the wearer knows how to live in style,” says,
Managing Director of Zam Gems Ahsan Refai.
He explains, “This trend continues today with most cocktail rings
having a large central stone either set on its own or more popularly
surrounded by smaller stones in contrasting colours.
The general rule is the bigger the stone, the better as the cocktail
ring is supposed to catch and dazzle the eye.”
Refai says it is also supposed to be opulent and overdone as it is an
attention-getter and is generally worn on any finger excepting the ring
finger of the left hand which represents that one is married or engaged.
The right hand fingers are often chosen although the ring may be worn
on the index finger of either hand. |
