Our Top Five Cocktail Rings

“I love styling my cocktail rings to add lots of luxury to my look, and I’ll choose tones which match my outfit and complement my other jewellery pieces. Cocktail rings are the perfect way to wear your diamonds or other precious gemstones every day, and when you add a pop of colour or bold centre stone, it creates a truly eye-catching finish which I love for special occasions.” - Debbie, Beaverbrooks Brand Ambassador.
Bejewelled and beautiful, we’re all about cocktail rings that go bold on colour, showcase precious gemstones, and are crafted in luxurious materials to adorn your finger. But we also love delicate styles that exude quiet luxury, and are perfect for layering with other jewels. So, whether you’re looking to enhance your ring stack or are searching for statement sparkle, we’ve curated our top five cocktail rings to take you from coffee to cocktails in effortless glamour (literally!).
What Is A Cocktail Ring?
Cocktail rings first became popular in the 1920s. This was a time when alcohol had been banned, but illegal cocktail parties became very popular. For women, it was a lavish statement to be drinking cocktails around this time and to show this off, they'd pair their cocktails with dramatic and sometimes colourful cocktail rings with a large stone in the centre.
A prominent accessory for the art-deco era, the cocktail ring first flourished in the setting of dimly-lit bars and jazz music, alongside fringed dresses and dramatic headpieces. Now, cocktail rings are a staple accessory to wear all day, every day, but their timeless glamour will always be iconic.
Through the years, cocktail rings have been made in all shapes and sizes and these days, any statement ring can be classed as a cocktail ring. Choose from bold, large centre stones or more subtle statement rings with glistening pavé stones.
