STYLE WATCH: Cocktail Rings

The latest wave in this year's statement-making jewelry trend is big, sparkly, detailed rings. From flowers and oversized stones to bauble styles, finger dresser-uppers have been a staple of summer's fashion magazines.

"It's all about the hand this season," says senior Lincoln Park sales associate Kathryn. "With the rise in popularity of clutches, people are accessorizing with rings and bracelets more than necklaces and earrings."

And they're not just for cocktail hour anymore.

We think they're fun to wear with everyday looks like tunics and tights, or even an empire waist summer dress.

What to look for in a cocktail ring is style and detail, whether that be bold colors wrapped in a gold setting or multiple stones set in a tall silver bauble. Our favorites include single stone rings from Betty Carr or canary-colored designs from Lauren G Adams.
