Rose Garden Cocktail Ring

Some designs resist the camera, and this 18k gold-plated cocktail ring from Rose Garden is one of them — a dimensional, hand-finished form dazzled across its surface with cubic zirconia. In person the stones ripple as the hand moves; in photographs they merely sparkle.

The ring is built on a brass base beneath its polished 18k gold finish, comes in sizes 6 through 9, and is nickel- and lead-free. Treat it as the evening's centerpiece: bare nails or a single clean polish color serve it far better than competition would.
