A cocktail ring is a statement piece, designed to be noticed, just like her. And, with this gift, your love won’t go unnoticed either!

Cocktail Rings are Status Symbols

Originally, cocktail rings were rather large, with an oversized gemstone at its center, surrounded by smaller diamonds. Would you believe that these rings trace their origin to the prohibition era in America? During the 1920s, cocktail drinks were invented to mask the peculiar taste of bootlegged alcohol, which was all you could lay your hands on at the time. Women used to order their drinks by raising their hands and showing these rings. These rings were, therefore, an act of rebellion, if not empowerment. It soon became a symbol of female independence. So, when you gift her a cocktail ring this anniversary, what you’re really saying is that you respect her bold and free spirit.

How to Find the Perfect Cocktail Ring?

However, make sure you check that the stones used are certified for authenticity. You will also find an excellent range of prices online, which means that there will certainly be big, bold, and beautiful cocktail rings online to suit your budget. But before you make a final decision, here are some things to check for.

1.      Choose the Stone

You will find cocktail rings online made of a wide range of gemstones, including lab-grown diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and much more. If you know that she has a favorite dress, or loves a particular color, you can select a gemstone to match. On the other hand, you can look for her birthstone. If you want to give her something she can match with anything and any occasion, check out cocktail rings made with lab-grown diamonds.

2.      Choose the Metal

Platinum used to be the metal of choice for original cocktail rings in the 1920s. It is exceptionally pure, durable, and hypoallergenic. However, why stick to just one boring metal? When you shop online, you will find yellow, white, and rose gold, sterling silver, and more to choose from. Choose from these pure metal alloys to ensure that the metal band of the ring is hypoallergenic and won't rust or lose color over time.

Some Things to Consider When Buying Cocktail Rings

Apart from the stone and metal type, there are a few other things you should consider when you cocktail rings online, such as:

• Does she like wearing big rings? You might find a cocktail ring online that you like but she might not be comfortable wearing it? There are all shapes and sizes of cocktail rings, so check out what she likes before you choose.
• Measure her ring size for the perfect fit. Either use one of her existing rings and measure the circumference with a piece of string or find a way to use that string to measure her finger directly but without her guessing your intention, if you want it to be a surprise gift.
• Do you have a budget in mind? If you buy online, not only can you access a wide range of prices, you might find some great deals that give you value for money.
• As with any other piece of fine jewelry, always buy from reputable jewelers, even while shopping for cocktail rings online. Make sure you check the gemstones for certification of authenticity.

Cocktail rings have a history closely tied to women’s independence that must be celebrated. If your special someone has chosen you for life, then she deserves the best gift ever. And you can never go wrong with cocktail rings if you are looking to make a big statement of love.
