This glamorous ring from the 1950s features a light blue aquamarine in a wide, stepped yellow gold setting. The gemstone is hand-faceted with a large table that allows the eye to dive deep into the stone's play of light. The wide frame with openwork underlayment showcases the stone as a special treasure. The ring is a typical mid-century cocktail ring: large pieces that attracted attention were particularly popular in the post-war period. Aquamarines in yellow gold were a particularly beloved combination. The ring is in very good condition. We discovered it here in Berlin.

Cocktail rings were once considered rebellious because they made a clear statement: In the 1920s, ladies in the USA wore these large pieces of jewellery at parties where alcohol was served despite Prohibition, often disguised in colorful cocktails. Prominently placed on the index finger of the left hand, the message was clear: Look, I'm having fun and I know how to enjoy life! Today there are no more illegal cocktail parties, at least not for adults - but large cocktail rings are still "statement pieces" today and, with their often lavish trimmings, stand for good-humored luxury. Today, they are no longer only worn on festive occasions such as red carpets, galas or award ceremonies, where they glitter and sparkle on the fingers of prominent ladies, but whenever you feel like it!
