That exuberant style is just as fashionable today and close to jewelry designer David Joseph\u2019s heart. Adventure and history were what he had in mind when he founded the New York\u2013based jewelry brand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/bochic\/\">Bochic<\/a> in 2004. \u201cI wanted to create a brand that was influenced by the old way of traveling and exploring \u2014 the attire, the romance of the journey and how these experiences would be incorporated into personal style,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joseph, who grew up around his family\u2019s jewelry business, came to jewelry design after a career in music management. He first found inspiration through travel to India and other international destinations but now gets ideas everywhere. \u201cWhenever I experience something new, whether it is music, art, a film or a place, my mind is automatically translating that experience into design,\u201d he says. He and his wife, Miriam Salat, who is also a notable jewelry designer, frequently incorporate daring and unusual details into Bochic\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/bochic\/shop\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">large collection of cocktail rings<\/a> and other pieces. Their designs have achieved red-carpet renown, adorning such superstars as Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez and Oprah Winfrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With images of smoky speakeasies in mind, we asked Joseph to take us back to the heyday of the cocktail ring and to show us how to wear these historically charged accessories today.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/miriam-salat-black-white-70s-inspired-art-deco-retro-cocktail-ring\/id-j_16792712\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-950x950.jpg\" alt=\"Miriam Salat Black and White 70s Inspired Art Deco Retro Cocktail Ring\" class=\"wp-image-409287\" width=\"475\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-933x933.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring-216x216.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-miriam-salat-cocktail-ring.jpg 1731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/miriam-salat-black-white-70s-inspired-art-deco-retro-cocktail-ring\/id-j_16792712\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Miriam Salat 1970s-inspired cocktail ring in white topaz, black zircon and silver, 2008<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>How did the cocktail ring get its name?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cocktail ring dates back to the American Prohibition era of the 1920s, when people held illegal drinking parties. The 1920s were a time of great social change, especially for women, who expressed their newfound freedom in the flapper fashions of the time \u2014 short hair and short skirts. At the same time, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/style\/art-deco\/\">Art Deco jewelry<\/a> of the time reflected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/art-deco-jewelry\/\">a newfound consumerism<\/a>. Women of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/the-jazz-age-at-cooper-hewitt\/\">the Jazz Age<\/a> would sip sumptuous drinks at these clandestine parties while clad in their most glamorous outfits, which included oversize gemstone \u201ccocktail\u201d rings worn on a cocktail-holding hand. They were the ultimate accessory of excess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What stones were typically used in cocktail rings?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1920s, the most valuable cocktail rings showcased large diamonds or other precious gemstones such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/stone\/emerald\/\">emeralds<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/stone\/sapphire\/\">sapphires<\/a>. Most were set in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/metal\/platinum\/\">platinum<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/metal\/gold\/\">gold<\/a> and surrounded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/diamond-pave-cocktail-ring\/\">pav\u00e9 diamonds<\/a>. More interesting designs used colorful gemstones like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/stone\/opal\/\">opals<\/a> or tried novel and abstract shapes. Nowadays, the possibilities for cocktail rings are limited in some ways due to the decreasing availability of large gemstones. But this can be solved by using other gems such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/stone\/quartz\/\">quartz<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/stone\/tourmaline\/\">tourmaline<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/stone\/blue-topaz\/\">blue topaz<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/stone\/citrine\/\">citrine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/bochic-champagne-snowflakes-ring\/id-j_15614012\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne-950x950.jpeg\" alt=\"Bochic Champagne Snowflakes cocktail ring \" class=\"wp-image-409283\" width=\"475\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne-950x950.jpeg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne-350x350.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne-120x120.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne-933x933.jpeg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne-216x216.jpeg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1stDibs-cocktail-ring-champagne.jpeg 1017w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/cocktail-rings\/bochic-champagne-snowflakes-ring\/id-j_15614012\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bochic Snowflakes tourmaline-and-diamond cocktail ring in 18-karat gold, 2016<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>When is it appropriate to wear a cocktail ring in this day and age?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These rings can be worn for almost anything \u2014 dinners, date nights, parties, special events, on the red carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you wear cocktail rings with other rings?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, cocktail rings should stand on their own since they showcase a large gem in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some cocktail rings blur the line between fashion jewelry and fine jewelry.

The general thinking was that by incorporating very expensive materials, designs could remain relatively classic and safe.
