Blue 15.62 Carat Star Sapphire Cabochon Platinum Ring with .90 Carats of Diamond
Located in Lake Bluff, IL
Let me introduce myself to this one-of-a-kind melding of art and nature. In the early 1980’s. As a gemologist and designer craftsman, I cast a net to the nation’s gem dealers, searching for an extraordinary, rich blue, large, star sapphire cabochon for my personal use. I wished to turn this exciting gem into a signature piece that I would wear for advertising and on special occasions as an example of my work, never planning to sell it. The stars were aligned when destiny presented me with this totally natural, stary gem which pulled at my heart strings. This 15.62 carat star sapphire has a lovely, distinct full six-legged star which (like all such stars) is best seen in sunlight or incandescent light. (Most LEDS won’t pick up the star.) I left the one dark natural sapphire crystal underneath the stone exposed, that proves it’s genuine but does not detract from above. There are no major flaws or cracks, just beauty. It took me several years (shoemaker’s children) of dreaming of potential designs as I worked through a number of potential designs and revisions. Following my sketches and seat-of-the-pants wax carving, this one-of-a-kind design evolved which allows the ring to sit back on the hand to prevent turning and makes the finger appear longer. I added a sweep of .90 carats of fiery princess cut F-G/VS diamonds to reflect the dome of the translucent cabochon and to protect it. This diamond quality if far above that used in normal production pieces but was for my own pleasure. I also added curves to the platinum to further reflect the smoothness of the gem. The result is an ergonomically designed, comfortable showpiece which can be worn all day as well as for special occasions. For over 40 years Martha Richter has exhibited her unique work in numerous states by participating in juried fine art fairs and American Council...

Diamond and Sapphire Cocktail Rings and Other Antique and Vintage Cocktail Rings

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.
