There are few things I like more than a big ‘ol cocktail ring. They quickly make fairly tame outfits more interesting in addition to inducing jealousy in those who are still wearing boring accessories. And while a pretty, sparkly thing may not seem like the best investment ever, keep in mind their second purpose: a gorgeous version of a self defense device. Totally practical, if you ask us.
