Color is the whole point. This ring doesn't let you forget it.

The Big Gem Cocktail Ring features a bold 1¾ CT emerald-cut gemstone — in your choice of ruby, citrine, or emerald — set in a sleek bezel in 14K gold or sterling silver. The emerald cut was chosen for exactly this: long, stepped facets that pull the eye deep into the stone's color rather than scattering light across the surface. In a ring this size, that's the difference between beautiful and unforgettable.

Three stones. Four metal options. One ring that earns its name every time you wear it.

Why You'll Love It

• The emerald cut amplifies color — each stone choice reads distinctly: ruby's deep crimson, citrine's warm amber glow, emerald's rich forest green

• 1¾ CT is substantial enough to be a genuine statement without tipping into costume territory
• Available in 14K yellow, white, or rose gold, or sterling silver — one configuration for any aesthetic
• Ethically sourced stones, recycled metals, handmade in the USA
• Custom sizing available — this is a ring made for you, not a warehouse shelf

The Full Story

The cocktail ring has a long history of making a point. Born in the Prohibition era as an act of social defiance, it became a fixture of mid-century glamour, fell out of fashion, and came back — as the best ideas do — with more authority than before. Today's cocktail ring doesn't need to be flashy to be powerful. It needs to be right.

The emerald cut is the right cut for this ring. Unlike a brilliant cut, which maximizes sparkle through dozens of triangular facets, the emerald cut uses long, parallel step facets that create a hall-of-mirrors effect. The result is a stone that rewards sustained attention — the more you look, the more you see. For a cocktail ring, worn in conversation and candlelight, this is exactly the quality you want.

The three stone choices were selected because each delivers something distinct. Ruby at 1¾ CT is rich, saturated, and ancient in its associations — passion, courage, the fire of a meaningful life. Citrine at this size glows like something lit from within — optimistic, warm, deeply wearable. Emerald carries the weight of history and the lushness of the natural world — a stone for someone who wants both beauty and meaning.

The bezel setting wraps around the stone's perimeter in solid 14K gold or sterling silver, creating a clean, low-profile frame that keeps the stone as the unambiguous focal point. Handcrafted in the USA from recycled metals and ethically sourced stones.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between ruby, citrine, and emerald?

Ruby is for passion, boldness, and July birthdays — a deeply historical stone with a strong presence. Citrine is warm, optimistic, and endlessly wearable — it pairs well with yellow or rose gold in particular. Emerald is rich and symbolic — associated with love, renewal, and wisdom, and one of the most historically prized gems. All three are equally beautiful; it comes down to which story you want to wear.

Are these natural stones?

Yes — ethically sourced. Emerald and ruby may be lab-created for certain configurations; the product listing will note which applies. Lab-created means chemically identical to natural, with a cleaner supply chain.

Can I get a custom size?

Yes. The standard size is 7, but we make to order. Add your size in the notes at checkout.

Can I wear this every day?

Yes — the bezel setting protects the stone from the sides, and 14K gold is durable enough for daily wear. We recommend removing fine jewelry during high-impact activities.

How long until it ships?

Made to order — typically ships within 5–10 business days. Reach out before ordering if you have a deadline.

Is it returnable?

Non-custom orders are returnable within 10 days of delivery. Custom sizes are final sale.
