The 1950s not only brought us the glamour of Hollywood and return to high fashion, but it was also the era of Swing music, the first James Bond movie, the Rat Pack and the success of grand cocktail parties. James Bond immortalised the martini as the drink of sophistication with his one line "shaken, not stirred". This ring, with its coral cocktail shakers, is an amusing reminder of this era.
