10 Under $30: Party-Worthy Cocktail Rings

During Prohibition, glamorous, oversized cocktail rings became the cat’s meow (a favorite term of the era) when women wore them as a sort of speakeasy status symbol to flaunt illegal drinking. Almost a century later, after gaining even more momentum in the 40’s and 50’s, they’re as much in vogue as ever, with options to suit any aesthetic. Eye-catching and festive, a cocktail ring is the perfect accessory to carry you through the upcoming holiday party swirl. Herewith, a round up of our ten favorite offerings on eBay right now—all authentically vintage, all under $30, and all adjustable to fit almost any ring size.
