Cocktail Rings

Throughout the 1920’s, statement jewelry such as cocktail rings started out as signs of rebellion against the prohibition. During this time not only had women just gained the right to vote but alcohol was also banned across the United States. What this ban led to was not the sober United States but instead, it led to the birth of speakeasies filled with secret drinkers, where entry could only be gained by the use of a secret password. First the first time, women were also in attendance at these bars where they would go dressed in jewels thus the cocktail ring was born.

Generally, these cocktail rings were worn on the right hand but these rings were worn in order to spotlight the illegal cocktail drink women held in hand. These cocktail rings also served as a symbol of their independence since throughout this time more women were out working and these rings were bought with their own money and not a man's.
