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?

If you are looking to maek a statment, a larger ring worn on the middle f inger can bring the wow-factor.
