Dress, Statement and Cocktail Rings: Bold Designs from the South Coast
The Perfect Ring to Make a Statement
Statement, cocktail, and dress rings are all different names for a type of ring that is big, bold, elaborate, and designed to stand out. These types of rings have been a fashion staple since women began using them to draw attention during times of social change. Often worn on the middle finger, they are a fantastic way to utilise large, coloured gemstones, which can be made even more flashy with smaller diamonds or other gems. Statement rings are the perfect way to add glamour and sophistication to any outfit. We design our statement rings to be worn regularly because you shouldn't need a special occasion to look your best.
The Origin of Cocktail Rings
The fashion of wearing cocktail rings originated in the United States during the 1920s. This era, known for a nationwide ban on alcohol, saw a rise in popularity for speakeasies, illegal cocktail parties, and underground casinos.
The 1920s was also a time of social change, with women fighting for equality and the right to vote. Bold fashion, including the glamorous cocktail ring, was one way women expressed their independence.
Caring For Your Dress & Cocktail Ring
All jewellery requires a little tender loving care from time to time, including your statement ring. To ensure your statement jewellery continues to shine and look its best, we recommend following these simple care tips.
-
You can clean your ring at home with warm water, a little dishwashing liquid and a soft toothbrush. After cleaning, rinse it in cold water and leave it to dry on a paper towel.
-
We recommend having your cocktail ring inspected by a jewellery professional annually. For those who wear their ring less frequently, every two years should be sufficient. Having your jewellery checked ensures minor knocks or wear don’t lead to major issues or the loss of a gemstone. For clients who bring our creations to the store for a check-up, we will also give your jewellery a complimentary clean.
-
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 task, 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.
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 colour can be the hero of a large ring. Because a cocktail ring is generally large, flamboyant, and colourful, semi-precious gemstones are frequently used. Their affordable prices, availability in larger sizes, and amazing array of colours make them a perfect choice for your next dress ring.
