How To Choose A Color Diamond Statement Ring
You may have already heard “wow that is a statement piece”, but do you know what this means? Statement jewelry is a broad category; it includes any oversized or bold-looking piece. Wooden bangles and glass bead necklaces also fit into this class. But diamond statement jewelry is the most luxurious subset. And if the diamonds are colored, it adds an extra layer of rarity.
In this article, we will focus on natural color diamond statement rings.

Cocktail or Statement Ring?
The Origin of Cocktail Rings
Cocktails were invented during the American Prohibition in the 1920s to disguise bootlegged alcohol and make low-quality mixes drinkable. Cocktail parties became popular among the upper classes. It was certainly an interesting time for women. They could smoke, drink, and enjoy themselves at social events. Women’s fashion at the time was transitioning into a more glamorous, extravagant, even decadent style. Larger jewelry pieces were highly sought-after. The bigger the stone, the better. This is how the cocktail ring came to be.
A cocktail ring is a statement ring made with a sizable center stone. The massive Black diamond ring below is both a cocktail and a statement ring.

What Is The Difference Between a Cocktail And A Statement Ring?
Cocktail rings may have smaller side stones or halos, but the main focus is always the center stone. On the other hand, a statement ring can feature multiple diamonds, big or small. As long as the design looks more prominent than the typical diamond ring, it falls into the ‘statement’ group.

How To Wear A Color Diamond Statement Ring
Bold jewelry can seem intimidating at first. You may think you need a special occasion to wear your bulky rings. In the past, the more extravagant pieces were reserved for formal events or luxurious parties. But nowadays, you don’t really need an excuse to wear your oversized pieces. The secret to versatility lies in styling. From casual chic to full glam. How you combine your rings will set the overall mood of your look.
Let Your Color Diamond Ring Shine On Its Own
Wearing a single statement ring feels very elegant and polished. Avoid adding any bracelets or more bands as this will focus all the attention on your statement piece while maintaining a refined appearance.

You can wear numerous eternity rings on one hand and a statement ring on the other. This stack will elevate any casual outfit or soften any formal look.
