Vintage 18 Kt. Yellow Gold Amethyst and Diamond Cocktail Ring
$850.00
Vintage 18 Kt. Yellow Gold Amethyst and Diamond Cocktail Ring-
This amethyst beauty is set with a deep purple stone accented by gold spacers and diamonds. Not set as high as some cocktails rings go and actually has a nice feel to be worn everyday. The workmanship on this piece is plain to the eye and even has the prong work and spacers bars for the diamonds in white to to achieve better color for the diamonds. Amethyst is the birthstone for February.
The precursor to the dinner ring was the cocktail ring. Large gemstones perched atop a ring were flashy and eye-catching – exactly the look a 1920’s flapper desired. When Prohibition was enacted in 1920 preventing the sale and consumption of alcohol, Americans sought other, more illicit means to get their fix. A roaring trade in moonshine and “homemade” liquor filled the need, yet left a lot to be desired in the taste department. Thus, the cocktail was born as a way to make these harsh liquors more palatable. Speakeasy night clubs and cocktail parties were an opportunity for the fashion setting flappers to show off their style, and flaunt their liberation. Cocktail in hand, rings were the perfect accessory for this new lifestyle. The term “dinner ring” is also attributed to the colored gemstone rings that were popular at the time. Richly hued emeralds, garnets, citrines, and aquamarines took center stage, often surrounded by a halo of sparkling diamonds. Dinner rings were, in essence, a symbol of a woman’s freedom and power. These were pieces not given to them by a husband or boyfriend; they were purchased by the wearer herself. Ever since their rejection of the corset, woman were finding freedom in fashion and loving it.
