Cocktail rings, like this Black Onyx & Sterling ring by Judith Ripka, are elegantly dramatic pieces reminiscent of the Art Deco Era (ring shown, available at www.saksfifthavenue.com for $468.50 CAD). Originally they were designed during prohibition to be worn at underground Cocktail parties. While underground may no longer be the trendy venue of choice - the Cocktail ring endures, remaining a true staple. With bold statement jewelry hitting ample trend status in the last couple years, Cocktail rings are no longer just for fancy parties. It's now tres chic to flaunt your rock as an everyday piece, making it more justifiable to splurge on this versatile piece, that looks equally haute dressed up or down!

Saks Fifth Avenue offers a wide range of beautiful Cocktail rings like the ones shown. There is a price to fit everyone’s pocketbook and you can now order online from Canada too! Don't stop there though, as you never know where you may find your Gem. Other places to keep an eye out are estate sales and jeweler auctions. With vintage jewelry being so high in demand right now, it might even be worth checking thrift stores, consignment shops and your grandmother's jewelry box!

Either way - when you find a Cocktail ring you love don’t hesitate – buy it! You can never go wrong with something that makes you feel as beautiful and elegant as a one of a kind statement piece. Besides, there will always be an event where one will find them self holding a champagne or martini glass; so why not do it in style!
