The fun part about cocktail rings is that they are a very versatile piece. Whether you are a pretty-in-pink Paris Hilton type, or an urban-chic diva like Alicia Keyes, cocktail rings can be worn for practically every style you're hoping to achieve. For you glamour girls out there, cocktail rings come in glitzy metallics with big, Swarovski Crystals. For the boho-chic chick you can scourge the streets for cocktail rings with large, natural stones. Sometimes you can see the quintessential boho-chic donning the cocktail ring in earthy gemstones like amber or jade. Perhaps you are a punk-rocker girl who shines best in florescent colors, suspenders and Chuck Taylor's, then snap up a plastic cocktail ring bedazzled with rhinestones.
The cocktail ring can also be quite versatile in price. I have seen them in lower-end retail shops for as inexpensive as $4, while a creative designer piece can range anywhere from $80-500, depending upon the designer of course. Also don't be afraid to peruse your local vintage shops, where you're sure to find antique cocktail rings with beautiful filigree inlays and unique designs.
Either way, you can't go wrong with the cocktail ring. It can be worn with an outfit as simple as jeans and a t-shirt, or with a matching cocktail dress (how appropriate)! It has been worn by the cast members of Desperate Housewives, Paris Hilton, Heidi Klum, and Nicole Richie. So keep your eyes open ladies, and shop around!
