What is a cocktail ring?
Made popular in the Roaring Twenties, the cocktail ring originated in the prohibition era as a way for servers to know which women were looking for an alcoholic cocktail. And so the name was born! Nowadays, cocktail rings are an ideal way for the wearer to flaunt their style.
Which finger does my cocktail ring go on?
The beauty of a cocktail ring is that they can go on any finger you choose, making them ideal for a date night. If you are looking to maek a statment, a larger ring worn on the middle f inger can bring the wow-factor. On the flip side, a smaller cocktail ring on your little finger can give off understated but glamorous vibes, ideal for a first date.

Cocktail rings are supposed to add a dose of fun, so why not use your jewellery choices to show off your fun-loving personality on your date? Whether you choose gold or silver, ruby or sapphire, you're sure to make a good first impression with a carefully selected cocktail ring.
