Cocktail rings are one of my favorite accessories. They’re an easy, effortless way to make any outfit more dressed-up.

When it comes to cocktail rings, there are a few rules to remember. One, the bigger the better! Cocktail rings make a statement, so the bigger or more flashy the ring, the bigger the statement. And two, since they do make such a loud statement, keep the rest of your accessories to a minimum.

Cocktail rings can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars for real gemstones, but you can find gorgeous ones for much, much less. Each one of these rings definitely makes a statement, but costs less than $20! At those prices, you can afford to buy one for every occasion!
