9ct Gold Amethyst Cocktail Ring

It’s time for some FLASH darling! Set in 9ct gold, this lovely approx 11 carat lavender amethyst center stone is surrounded by truer purple sisters creating a fabulous, elegant and retro look. This spectacular Amethyst sparkler is an excellent example of a cocktail ring- which, if you don’t know the history of these rings you’re in for a treat!! Cocktail rings came into fashion during the Roaring 20s, made popular by rebellious flappers. Grieving from the losses of World War I and the Spanish Flu, Americans were ready to party BUT the enactment of Prohibition 1919 made this challenging. Thus the Speakeasy was born! Amongst the colorful characters of a Speakeasy you could find radical ladies who drank and danced and they wore cocktail rings!! The cocktail ring was colorful and flashy (you could match it to your favorite cocktail!) and was specifically worn on the index finger of the right hand so as not to be confused with an engagement ring. They are not just gorgeous, they are symbols of progression and liberation. One looks absolutely smashing wearing a cocktail ring holding an enticing beverage in any decade.
