Overview
A bold sterling silver cocktail ring featuring a large oval-cut peach-colored center stone surrounded by a halo of eight round brilliant-cut clear stones.
Story
Cocktail rings first gained fame during the Prohibition era in the United States, worn by women at underground speakeasies as a flamboyant symbol of independence and rebellion.
Maker / Origin
While the specific maker's mark isn't visible, the '925' stamp identifies it as part of the global sterling silver tradition that flourished in the late 20th century.
Condition & Value
The stones appear remarkably clear with no visible 'flea bites' or chips on the facet edges. The silver setting shows light, honest wear consistent with occasional use. The bezel settings remain tight and secure. Excellent condition for a vintage piece.

Comparable demand stays strongest where maker, originality, and venue confidence line up. Broader examples still trade, but the range tightens quickly when provenance, condition, or selling lane fit is missing.
