Default does this cocktail ring look too much for late twenties?
When i got married, my mother in law gave me some jewelries and
I enjoys them sometimes i want to dress up.
Among them, but, I always hesitate to put on this sapphire ring on
my right hand. because it mayn be looked too much or old for my age.
now, I'm twenty-seven years old.
Usually, when I try it, I just wear a simple eternity band with dia on
my left hand.
I really love that deep blue color and I enjoy to accessorize myself
with jewelries but, I'm not sure about this ring.
Should I wait until my thirty?

Wow! It is quite *estate*! Personally I wouldn't wear such a design in my twenties either because it is so huge and I find sapphire quite a *serious* stone, if that makes any sense.

However if you need any inspiration of how the young folks wear such a classic cocktail ring, look no further than Tang Wei in Lust, Caution. http://www.luxist.com/2007/09/30/cartiers-lust-caution/

I'm am 24 and I would wear that ring. That ring is too gorgeous to sit in your jewelry box until you are 30. Beautiful ring and life is too short to be concerned about age and the ring. I would totally wear that as a coctail ring. Besides, the other ladies will be jealous. LOL! What a lovely ring. Enjoy it in good health.

I would wear it, just keep it modern by letting that be your statement piece! simple earrings...simple wedding band and it will look young and relevant

I love it and the color is wonderful. Wear it now- agree that it is silly to wait until you are in your 30's.

Your ring is exactly like Princess Diana's engagement ring and she was younger than you! It is a beautiful, classic style and you are not too young to wear it and enjoy it!!

I think you could give it a twist by wearing it with a simple modern cuff and probably no other jewelry except maybe diamond studs.
