Cocktail rings used to be a big part of dressing up for formal occasions. They were often oversized to the point of being gaudy and considered an essential part of social wear. Now, I would think you would wear something like that whenever the mood struck you.

This machine age looking ring from Pamela Zamore is a great option for dressy or casual wear given its sleek and unadorned look. Her inspiration: The soft, fluid lines of Eos began with the archetypal egg shape, and the universal concept of birth and new beginnings. Named after the Greek Goddess of Dawn,  this collection reminds us that each day is a new opportunity to rise and renew.

The ring is made with 18k yellow gold and sells for USD$5,200.
