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! At the turn 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 jewellery box. This ring also features the sophisticated design language of the time. An amethyst of a deep purple colour shines in its centre in an oval facet cut. The beautiful, delicate violet gemstone is securely set in a surrounding frame. A hand-forged frame with a yellow gold rail complements the glow of the gemstone with its warm colour. The design language is modern and eye-catching, in keeping with the post-war modernist movement - just as people loved it in the 1950s. 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.
