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 colourful cocktails. Prominently placed on the index finger of the left hand, the message of such a ring was clear: Look, I'm having fun in life and know how to enjoy it! 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! This ring also has a glamorous design. An amethyst of a deep purple colour shines in its center in a cushion-shaped facet cut. The beautiful gemstone is securely set in a surrounding frame. A hand-forged frame with a yellow gold ring band complements the gemstone's glow with its warm colour. The design language is modern and geometric, extravagant and eye-catching, in the spirit of the post-war modernist movement - just as people loved it in the 1960s. The ring is a statement piece that wonderfully illustrates the new luxury and regained joie de vivre of this era. It came to us here in Berlin.
