Cocktail rings were historically known for their bold designs, having first emerged in the 1920s during the American Prohibition era. For women, they were symbols of rebellion and freedom, for those who embraced new social freedoms and rejected traditional expectations.
Cocktail rings saw a resurgence in popularity in the 50s & 60s, fuelled by Hollywood glamour and a renewed interest in opulent fashion. Actresses like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor were often seen wearing them.
