The definition of the cocktail ring is widely known: A large ring set with one or more colored gemstones that accentuates the hand in which a lady holds a cocktail. However, this term can only be traced back to the late 1930s. Prior to this, large, purely decorative rings that were not worn as an engagement or wedding ring were referred to as a "dinner ring". The eponymous dinner alludes to the function of such a ring, namely to adorn at an elegant evening event. This is just such a ring. It is designed in an elongated diamond shape that covers almost an entire phalanx of the finger. In the center of the ring face is a beautiful old-cut diamond weighing around 0.22 carats. It is flanked at the top and bottom by two blue sapphires, so that the gemstones together form a sparkling triumvirate. A precisely fitting frame spans around this trilogy, setting smaller diamond roses in graphic milgrains patterns. A layer of platinum gives the ring face and shoulders a radiant white glow, as the early white gold from which the ring is crafted is slightly yellow, typical of the time. Its workmanship as well as the characteristic geometric design and the diamond cuts allow us to date the ring to around 1930.
