Cocktail Rings
In American history, cocktail rings are associated with the Roaring Twenties and Prohibition. At that time, cocktail rings, along with other types of jewelry such as brilliant bracelets and jeweled headbands, were a symbol of rebellion. They were worn at clandestine parties, bars and homes where alcohol was served. Cocktail rings appear slightly oversized for the finger and are characterized by bold designs and a large, brilliant center precious or semi-precious stone surrounded by accent stones. They are quite beautiful and are still trendy and fashionable today; when you wear a cocktail ring, people definitely notice!

Eternity Rings
Eternity rings are rings designed to symbolize perpetual or never ending-love. They are usually given by a spouse or loved one to the other spouse or loved one and are designed as a continuous line of identically cut gemstones. While eternity rings often feature diamonds all around the band, they can have any gemstone as long as it’s a continuous, unbroken band; an eternal loop that symbolizes eternal love. They are worn on the ring finger, usually between your wedding band and engagement ring.

Engraved Signet Rings
Today, a signet ring is an attractive accessory that can be worn as a fashion statement or a form of personal expression, or it might even be an heirloom passed down from one generation to the next. Historically, however, signet rings played a big cultural role and were often emblazoned with a family crest or the personally identifiable markings of its owner. Nowadays, engraved signet rings are worn by men and women and usually have symbols or letters that are representative of its wearer such as a name, initials, title, organization, school, rank or even fingerprints or heartbeats.

Five-Stone Rings
As the name suggests, a five-stone ring contains five stones; the stones are usually of equal or graduated size and the look is classic and versatile. Five-stone rings are often given as engagement rings and as wedding anniversary gifts. While the prong setting is the most popular choice of setting for this ring, bezel and basket settings also look beautiful and provide a unique look. In addition, five-stone rings can be customized with different metals, gemstones, and carat weights.

Seven-Stone Rings
A seven-stone ring is set with seven gemstones around the band. Depending on the size of the stones, they can reach halfway around, which is why seven-stone rings are sometimes called half-eternity rings as well. The gemstones can be of uniform shape and size or tapered. The types of gemstones used as well as the metals can also be customized, but the result is always an elegant design with the stones stretching across the front of your finger.
