Ico & the Bird Fine Jewelry was founded in 2020 by Juliana Domenico (Ico) Carr. Carr drew inspiration for her jewelry design from her world travels and early childhood memories in Brazil, playing with her mother’s jewelry box and arranging her mother’s collection of loose aquamarine gemstones into patterns. 

While Carr was formally educated in geology, she also has a deep background in the arts. An accomplished pianist, ballerina and actress, she has a love of creating and storytelling that is part of what drew her to designing fine jewelry.

In 2018, Carr visited Myanmar and partnered with Turquoise Mountain to create the first product line for Ico & the Bird. Inspired by the Burmese zodiac, Ico & the Bird launched a series of artisan Burmese charms and pendants made in 18-karat gold featuring the eight animal signs of the zodiac. Turquoise Mountain-supported craftspeople manage the production of these timeless and luxurious fine jewelry designs. 

Sustainability and ethical trading are part of the core company policies at Ico & the Bird's boutique in Los Angeles, California. Each gemstone is curated and tracked from mine to market to ensure authenticity and that its origins remain conflict-free. In an industry where waste materials are a major problem, Ico & the Bird insists on a reduction of energy use and recycling as critical steps in production. Every lapidary that reproduces Ico & the Bird designs is employed using global fair trade practices that protect labor standards, health and safety.

A flashy symbol of wealth during the early 20th century, antique and vintage cocktail rings have gained broader appeal in the decades since for the hefty dose of glamour they bring to any ensemble.

Cocktail rings earned their name for their frequent appearances during glitzy cocktail parties at the height of the Prohibition era. Back then, these accessories were seen not only as statement pieces but as statements in and of themselves. They openly represented a sense of freedom and independence as well as a demonstration of opulence. After all, the 1920s heralded the Harlem Renaissance and Art Deco design, and a slew of social and cultural shifts meant that women in particular were breaking from pre–World War I conventions and embracing newfound freedoms to express themselves as individuals.

Women expressly wore cocktail rings on the fingers of their right hand versus the left, which was “reserved” for an engagement ring or wedding band, accessories definitely paid for by a suitor. And for cocktail rings, the bigger the colored gem at the center — which is usually mounted in a high setting — and the more elaborate the design, the stronger the likelihood of being noticed.

Cocktail rings remained a popular piece of jewelry for women until the 1930s, when the Great Depression and the onset of war marked a change in behaviors nationwide. While the 1960s and ’70s saw a return in visibility for the accessory, it wasn’t until the 1980s that cocktail rings once again assumed their position as a beacon of luxury and glitz.

During the 20th century, the range of dazzling cocktail rings seems to have been limitless, from glimmering gold rings set with carved jade diamonds designed by David Webb to Pomellato’s pink quartz confections to striking Gucci butterfly rings with accent diamonds set in a pavé fashion.

So, how do you wear a cocktail ring? Cocktail rings “can be worn for almost anything — dinners, date nights, parties, special events, on the red carpet,” explains David Joseph of New York-based jewelry brand Bochic. 

Can you wear cocktail rings with other rings? “In my opinion, cocktail rings should stand on their own since they showcase a large gem in the center,” says Joseph.

These glamorous jewels can be worn inside or outside crowded taverns, in either daytime or nighttime with casual or dressy attire. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of antique and vintage cocktail rings, including those offered by Chanel, whose elegant cocktail rings often feature pearls and, of course, diamonds, and sometimes were styled after showy flowers like the camellia, and Van Cleef & Arpels, whose detailed and intricate designs are viewed as miniature pieces of wearable art.
