Raw-Cut Cocktail Rings

8 comments

Thursday August 12, 2010 by Nikki

Brooklyn jewellery designer, Carrie Bilbo, has taken raw-cut stones into the realm of cocktail rings.

The purpose of a cocktail ring is to stand out and create a stir, and Carrie’s design will do just that. The ring is cone-shaped and comes in either a sterling silver, or 24-karat-gold-plated base. Carrie is using raw-cut sapphires in pink, yellow or blue to top off the rings. They retail for $140 USD.

These rings are perfect if you prefer the rugged “au natural” look, but not for those of you who like to keep it classic.

What do you think? Would you wear this?

It's a neat idea and would definitely stand out and spur some discussion, but I think the cone shape would feel bulky and the raw cut looks a little too unrefined and organic. Its just not my personal taste.
