Cocktail Ring with Pink Topaz

The term cocktail ring has its origins in the 1920s Prohibition era as a symbol of female independence and rebellion.   A ring featuring a prominent central gemstone often worn on the right hand's middle or index finger to draw attention to the hand while holding a drink.  It can be a great conversation starter.

This handmade ring has many claws protecting the gemstone. The band made from floral pattern wire and mill grain details accentuate a vintage feel.

Pure topaz is colorless; impurities give the gemstone color. Gemstones can appear in a range of colors, with natural pink being the rarest. Most topaz colors are heat-treated or irradiated to enhance their color. In folklore, this gemstone is believed to dispel sadness and fear, to ward off poisons and to reverse infertility.
