Cocktail rings are the new rage; and yes, they are back with a bling. Assertive is the new fashion trend on your fingers, so make sure you flash facade with elegance. Celebrities flash their bling as cocktail rings make a top trend in the fashion industry.
The bare accessory most celebs flaunt on the red carpet are a clutch, maybe a Bottega Veneta with just a solitaire or a bigger bling bearing ring. The ring power is more than necessary. It is the only piece of jewelry you need to own — even if it is a red carpet affair.
The concept of cocktail rings is synonymous to a cocktail party where you dress to impress in your favorite cocktail dress. The ring embellishes your individuality, your attire and certainly your mood for an occasion. Passionate, illustrious, exuberant and powerful defines the ring on your finger. It is something a woman of substance is made of.
Inspired in the era of 1940s and1950s, the dramatic over-sized rings made their fray into the world of fashionable elite lives, marking their niche for future generations. The styles, materials, design, colors and intricacies of ring making have been the talk of the town for decades where gemstones from the land of Arabia and exclusive jewelry from Turkey, India and parts of Africa are greatly treasured.
Back in the 1920s, real stones were used and the big center stone needed to be about three carats. As a result, less expensive stones were used, such as amethysts, garnets and topaz. Nowadays, other materials are also used such as white and yellow gold, crystals, diamonds, zircon, platinum, rubies, emeralds, peridot, sapphire, tourmaline and semi precious stones with high setting.
Instead of accessorizing with numerous jewels to stand out, a commanding ring that is prominent in design can have a far more authoritative effect. Add funk, spark or just pure luxury to your outfit by investing in a hard-core, ostentatious cocktail ring. What is best about cocktail rings is that they work with any outfit, at any time of the day.
You can opt for dazzling large cubic zirconia rings set atop sterling silver or gold settings or celebrity inspired big rocks, such as cocktail rings from Louis Vuitton, YSL or Christian Dior. The prices can be as enormous or magnificent as your bling, especially if you want to add ten small diamonds for the sheen.
However, more affordable and flashy items can be found at Top Shop, Aldo, Accessorize, Mango, Forever 21 and H&M. Embrace a candy colored cute ring or scintillating stones, as the sterling silver rings with embellishments or pearls are great showstoppers.
The major categories are Animal Rings and Animal Cocktail Rings, Antique Inspired Rings, Celebrity Rings, Cubic Zirconia Rings, Dome Rings, Engagement Rings, Eternity Rings, Pearl Rings, Pinky Rings, Promise Rings and Small Carat Rings. They are great as a gift, token of love for your girlfriends, mothers or sisters.
Remember, if you want all eyes on you when you walk into a room, make sure you have what it takes: Your exclusivity and that ring on your finger.
