Cocktail rings are not a new accessory for many fashionistas. With their storied past as the fashion statement of the prohibition times, cocktail rings were de riguer for  illegal "cocktail" parties and have remained popular ever since.

So you may think this kind of statement is best saved for when the sun goes down, but with all the new forms these rings are taking, they are perfect for any time of day.

Sparkle,Sparkle
Sparkly concoctions of either a single colorful stone or a cluster of many are the traditional form of cocktail rings. Perfect for nights out or just when you want to show your in support of the "bigger is better" way of thinking.

Don't feel limited to just big flashy stones. Some of the most fab cocktail creations are in the form of feathers, leather, and knotted metals.

The lovely thing about this trend is you can find them anywhere from vintage boutiques to Target. Just remember, let the ring have the spotlight and don't take away from its fabulousness by over accessorizing with other rings.

Cheers!
