Cocktail Rings

Jewelry can do a lot more for an outfit than you may think. Cocktail jewelry works great for formal events but can be used for nights out as well as for the workplace.

Jewelry should be fun. Being able to mix and match pieces and create different looks is part of all the fun. While some sets work best when complete and worn together, mixing and matching pieces, whether they be jewelry or clothing, really maximizes your wardrobe beyond imagination. Wearing a different set of accessories with the same dress can create two completely different looks and it does not require you to spend any extra money. While an initial investment in a variety of clothing and accessories is vital, what is most important is each pieces ability to adapt to other pieces. This increases their inherent value ten fold. Cocktail jewelry is great when it comes to accessories. They can be worn with simply silver jewelry, bold statement pieces, or even by themselves.

Cocktail rings tend to be big and bold and work best with minimal jewelry. This doesn’t mean they can’t be worn with anything else, however. As stated before, cocktail rings can be worn with simple jewelry or other bold pieces. This mostly goes for necklaces. A cocktail ring is basically a statement necklace for your hands. Wearing one goes a long way, and considering their size, it is best to not wear it with other rings or even a bracelet. This ring, though it seems small on its own, goes a long way. Wearing one with a necklace, whether simple or bold, is perfect. Since the necklace and ring are far apart from one another, they can balance each other out if desired.

These accessories can also be versatile. A bright or fun cocktail ring is great for daytime wear, whether you’re headed to a big company lunch, an engagement party, or any other activity that takes place later in the day. Rings with color or with more daring shapes and designs work best for these kinds of occasions. Use one of these rings to brighten up your outfit and add some fun and flare to your look. If you’re headed to a more somber or formal event in the evening, then simpler, sleeker cocktail jewelry is a safer bet. Ones with a more minimalist design are adaptable but no less impressive. These rings are a bit more classic and timeless and can be made to match any elegant look.

No matter where you’re headed, one of these cocktail rings is sure to fit your needs while adding a bit of that Old Hollywood glamour to your look. Whether you opt for daytime fun or evening classic, one of these pieces is sure to flatter your fingers. Find the right ring for you at Chicastic.

Perfect Sterling Silver Cocktail Rings

Cocktail rings are synonymous with bold fashion statements. It used to be that only older women wore cocktail rings. This is because the cocktail ring came about when the older women of today were young, wild and law breaking citizens during the Prohibition. Frequenting illegal “cocktail parties,” these women donned fashion choices ahead of their time.

Cocktail rings are usually heavier, chunkier pieces. They often have a big focal stone and are a great option for those women with larger hands. These rings are considered more ‘playful’ than your traditional rings. Though these rings are made from precious stones like diamonds and emeralds, they are also made of less expensive materials like cubic zirconia and crystals, making it more affordable to own a statement piece. Jewelry designers combine various shapes, stones, and cuts to create dazzlingly unique pieces that are sure to catch your eye. Unlike regular everyday rings, these have extra tall or wide settings.

When looking for a cocktail ring, consider purchasing one with one focal stone accented by others surrounding it. Choose a tastefully sized cubic zirconia. Anything too large will look cheap. For a more sophisticated look, lean towards darker crystals because they tend to look richer than lighter colored stones.

The different settings that jewelers use for cocktail rings may influence the style that you purchase. Prong settings are most common, holding each stone individually. Mounds, domes and starbursts are created with prongs. Bezels are little cups that hold a stone in place. These are more contemporary settings and are used to set larger stones apart from others in the designs. Channel settings are used to create linear designs. Stones are placed between two metal strips that hold them in place. Pave settings are used for very small stones, holding them very close together. The effect is much like paved stones on a road.

These types of rings are very versatile and can go with many outfits. Adding a cocktail ring instantly increases the sophistication factor. They are usually worn on the index or the ring finger. When choosing a ring, consider your lifestyle and budget. While gold may be a dream for a lot of women, it is usually too expensive for most. Stainless steel, titanium and sterling silver rings are durable, shiny and affordable.

Cocktail rings are not only a fashion statement, but they are artful expressions of the designer. Because they are larger than the average ring, they are like canvases upon which to place precious stones or crystals. For a very beautiful selection of cocktail rings visit Chicastic now!
