Sunday Brunch: Cocktail Rings
We have noticed that a lot of our lovely patrons are visiting the shop in search of cocktail rings! They're a fun and sparkly accessory that's easy to admire on your hand while working at home, but also the perfect treat in anticipation of fun things to come after a dark year. There are a lot of parallels we can draw between now and 100 years ago, including the growing popularity in cocktail rings! So lets take a quick dive into the history of this iconic piece of jewelry.
The history of cocktail rings is synonymous with freedom, luxury, and fun! They came into vogue in the Roaring 1920s during Prohibition as accessories popularly worn at illegal cocktail parties. It was a time of immense social change; women had more independence then ever before and they were determined to enjoy it! Fashionable women wore big showy rings on the hand they would use to hold their illegal drink, drawing attention to the illicit act. Cocktail rings continued to be the go to ring for fun loving partygoers for decades to come!
So, in celebration of fabulous rebellious women and in hopes of our own roaring 20s to come we have decided to feature some of our favorite cocktail lovelies in today's Sunday Brunch!
Grab yourself an espresso martini and a couple eclairs and let's do this!
