Estate Originals 18K White Gold 26.32 Carat Oval Shaped Cabochon Cut Smoky Quartz Ring with Fancy Brown Coloured Diamonds

This impressive ring features a gorgeous, 26.32 carat coffee-coloured smoky quartz cabochon that is sure to turn heads! The quartz is striking, with rich colour that is complemented by the forty-eight sparkling white diamonds that trim the top of the scalloped design. The setting is divided into four segments, each pave-set with forty-three fancy champagne-coloured diamonds, that together resemble the petals of a rose. Crafted in 18K white gold, this is a handsome ring that makes a statement in confidence, style and sophistication! The interior of the ring is finished with a pierced floral design. The two hundred and twenty diamonds provide a 2.09 carat total weight. 

Cocktail rings first appeared during the 1920s, when cocktails themselves were first invented to disguise alcohol during the Prohibition era, and make bootlegged booze more palatable. Stylish, fashionable women started going to bars, intent on having a good time and often dripping in jewellery. The cocktail ring — a design generally defined as a ring with a large center stone surrounded by smaller stones — became symbolic of the era when these women flaunted their rebellious, illicit behavior. The look came back into fashion in the 1940s after the Great Depression, with women wearing lavish rings to parties, restaurants and the opera. Cocktail rings’ popularity faded in the 1970s, but they returned bigger and flashier than ever in the ’80s, and have stuck around ever since.
