Design: The ring showcases a robust, geometric design typical of the cocktail rings from the mid-20th century, possibly dating from the 1940s to the 1960s. The large gemstone is secured with prongs and held within a lattice-like gallery that enhances its brilliance by allowing light to pass through.
Style: This ring exemplifies the bold and glamorous style of the mid-century period, often referred to as Retro or Cocktail style. These rings were designed to make a statement and were usually worn during evening events and parties.
Historical Context:
Cocktail Rings: These rings became highly popular during the Prohibition era in the United States (1920-1933). They were named after cocktail parties where such bold jewellery pieces were showcased. The style continued to evolve through the 1940s and 1950s, featuring large, colourful gemstones and intricate designs.
