While 2007 saw rings with very little ornamentation, 2008 displays bold and beautiful styles in the fashion rings . With a high bling quotient the cocktail ring is a hot new trend in 2008. The cocktail ring merges the old with the new to make another re-emergence of style. "Everything is better with a cocktail ring. Lifting a glass, hailing a cab, even brushing your teeth. Find your favorite ring and rock it!," said Sapna Gupta of Sapna Jewels, a Mumbai based diamond jewellery company.
The beauty of the cocktail ring trend is that a buyer can choose between high-priced stones like diamonds or use neutral gemstone like citrine or smoky quartz to get the same look. Typical hues range from browns and yellows, so it adapts well to both diamonds and semi-precious stones.
"Cocktail rings add instant bling, make heads turn and have been doing well this year," said Gupta.
"The key is to keep the style simple and bold. And, if you are willing to defy style conventions, just put many different cocktail rings on different fingers," Gupta added.
