Description

This engaging and visually rich 45-minute talk uncovers the sparkling—and subversive—story of the cocktail ring. From its rebellious origins in Prohibition-era speakeasies to its glamorous heyday in midcentury Hollywood, the cocktail ring is more than just a statement accessory. It’s a symbol of personal power, feminine identity, and cultural change. Designed for lovers of vintage barware, midcentury style, and all things spirited, this talk blends history, fashion, and social commentary with a generous pour of visual storytelling. Whether you’re a vintage collector or just someone who appreciates a great story (and a good drink), you’ll leave with a fresh lens on jewelry history—and maybe a new excuse to flash a little sparkle at your next gathering.

Dana Sednek is the founder of RetroStarr Vintage, a fine jewelry brand specializing in Art Deco, Retro ’40s, and midcentury pieces. A lifelong collector and GIA-trained gemologist, Dana blends vintage style with bold storytelling to spotlight the cultural history behind the sparkle.
