Cocktail Rings, Statement Rings & Dress Rings
Cocktail, statement and dress rings are different names for big, bold, elaborate rings that really stand out.
Women have been using cocktail rings to draw attention since times of social change and now they are considered a fashion staple.
Often worn on the middle finger, cocktail rings are a fantastic use for large, coloured gemstones, made even more flashy with the addition of smaller gems or diamonds.
Statement dress rings are the perfect way to add glamour and sophistication to your outfit. We create statement rings designed to be worn regularly because you shouldn’t need a special occasion to look your best.
Gems in Dress & Cocktail Rings
Dress and cocktail rings are made to feature all sorts of gemstones. Precious and semi-precious gemstones in almost any conceivable colour become the hero in a ring of grand proportions.
Generally, a cocktail ring tends to be large, flamboyant and colourful. For this reason, semi-precious gemstones are more frequently used. Their availability in larger sizes, affordable prices and amazing array of colours, make semi-precious gems the perfect choice in your next dress ring.
Statement Ring Specialists
We are the specialists in creating custom made statement rings from Sydney, the South Coast and across the Southern Highlands. Our passion for gemstones, combined with a knack for using them in eye catching designs, makes us the your number one spot for cocktail rings.
What Our Customers Say
The Origin of Cocktail Rings
The fashion of cocktail rings began during the 1920s in the United States. Larger than normal fashion rings, cocktail rings are designed to attract attention with their size, colour and beauty.
In the 1920s there was a nationwide ban on alcohol creating a growth in popularity for underground casinos, illegal cocktail parties and speakeasys. This time of social change had women fighting for their right to vote and equality.
Bold fashion is one of the ways women expressed their independence and the glamorous cocktail ring was born.
Caring For Your Dress & Cocktail Ring
From time to time all pieces of jewellery will require a little TLC, this includes your dress or cocktail ring. To make sure your statement jewellery continues to shine and look its best we recommend;
Have your cocktail ring inspected by a jewellery professional annually. For those who wear their cocktail ring less frequently, every two years should be sufficient. Having jewellery checked ensures minor knocks or wear don’t lead to major issues or loss of gemstone.
Clean your ring at home with warm water, a little dishwashing liquid and a soft toothbrush. After cleaning your ring, rinse it in cold water and leave it to dry on a paper towel.
When storing a cocktail ring, keep it somewhere it does not bang or rub against other pieces of jewellery. Storing your ring in its own pouch or box is the easiest way to keep it in great condition.
If you are going to take part in a rough or laborious tasks, remove your ring to avoid banging or catching it.
A cocktail ring that is cared for correctly will continue to shine and bring you joy for a long time. Client’s bringing our creations to the store for a check-up, we will also give your jewellery a complimentary clean.
