Cocktail Hour: Statement Rings Are Big, Beautiful And Back With A Bang

Cocktail Hour: Statement Rings Are Big, Beautiful And Back With A Bang
By Andrea  | Nov 27, 2013

Cocktail rings are having a big, chunky moment.

This year we've had the midi ring and the mani ring, but the cocktail rules this time of year. And who doesn't like the sound of that.

So I've picked a few to brighten up our Wednesday afternoon. First up are some ice options, not diamond ya understand but something to transform you from worker bee to snow queen.

Pop on some sunglasses and have a gander at these cold beauties.

Or maybe you are a girl who likes a little bit of colour in her life, maybe even the kind who might match her eye makeup to her cocktail of choice. Now that's the type of dedication I admire.

But if you are just looking to reflect the same colour in your bling and your outfit, then these black, blue and gold options might fit right into your winter colour palette.

Etsy is a playground for those of us who love unique or handmade pieces. Aqua, chartreuse, navy and amber are all strong hues that catch the eye and the selection below range from modern pop art to vintage, Victorian glamour.

Unwrapping one of these would put a big smile on my face! Imagine putting one of these in a cracker for your sister or your best friend - I'd read any number of terrible jokes to get my little magpie digits on their shiny fabulousness!

The cocktail ring can be the focal point of an outfit, without the need for any additional pieces.

Whether it's a statement necklace, a pair of chandelier earrings, a chunky ring or a cuff - big and beautiful will be featuring heavily in my party wardrobe.
