Cocktail rings were once considered rebellious because they made a clear statement: In the 1920s, women in the USA wore these large pieces of jewelry at parties where alcohol was served despite Prohibition - often disguised in colourful cocktails. Prominently placed on the index finger of the left hand, the message of such a ring was clear: Look, I have fun in life and know how to enjoy it! Around the middle of the century, during the heyday of the cocktail party - when it was no longer illegal - a beautiful cocktail ring belonged in every well-stocked jewelry box. This ring also features the glamorous design language of the time. An amethyst of around four carats shines in its center in an oval star cut. The beautiful, delicate violet gemstone is securely set in a surrounding frame. A hand-forged frame with a yellow gold rail complements the gemstone's glow with its warm color. The design language of the large ring is modern and eye-catching, in keeping with the post-war modernist movement - just as people loved it in the 1960s. The large Statement Piece revives the optimism of its time of origin. It came to us here in Berlin.
