Diamond Cocktail Ring

It is usually worn on the ring or middle finger of the right hand, keeping the left ring finger for an engagement or wedding ring.

An engagement ring usually features one main diamond and is worn daily as a symbol of commitment. A cocktail ring is larger and more decorative and is worn as a statement piece.

Diamond cocktail rings are usually set in 18K or 14K gold, which is harder than 22K and holds diamonds securely.

Check the diamond quality (colour and clarity), how securely the stones are set, the gold purity hallmark and whether a diamond certificate is provided.

Large designs can snag on clothes, so they are better for occasions. Smaller cluster designs can be worn more often.

Measure a ring that fits the finger you plan to wear it on. Wide bands can feel tighter, so you may need half a size larger.

Soak it in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently behind the stones with a soft toothbrush, rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Have the settings checked once a year.
