The cocktail ring was invented during prohibition, when cocktails were status symbols that women began t complement with larger-than-life rings. This particular cocktail ring was concocted during the 1960s. This high-fashion 14K yellow gold piece combines a domed basket weave design with a large cultured pearl surrounded by sapphires. The look is lavish and fun. Whether sipping a martini or a beer, we think it a sin not to enjoy this dazzling cocktail ring.
