What do speakeasies, flappers, and oversized gemstone rings have in common? Welcome to the glittering origin story of the cocktail ring—a rebellious icon born in the Prohibition era.

From vintage cabochons to modern floral designs, cocktail rings have come full circle, now worn casually or with couture. In this video, we uncover their scandalous beginnings, artistic evolution, and cultural resurgence.
