As a jewelry designer there is nothing I love more than a cocktail ring. I came up with this sample spontaneously but I think it has potential. The ring shown is fabricated from sterling silver with a synthetic amethyst. I am not usually drawn to synthetic stones, but this one changes colour from deep purple to fuchsia pink – fun and cost effective!

Made from precious or semi precious stones the term ‘Designer Cocktail Rings’ was coined during the Prohibition era when a number of style conscious American ladies would wear big bold rings to illegal cocktail parties.
