Art Deco engagement rings are perhaps the most coveted antique engagement rings on the market. More so than Edwardian, Victorian, or Retro, genuine Art Deco Engagement Rings are in very high demand.
The clean architecture typically found in Art Deco jewelry were in a small part inspired by Oriental and Native American Designs, but primarily inspired by the Craft Motif and Machine Age. The notable features found in Art Deco Engagement Rings are both stately and at the same time geometrical symmetrical. Art Deco is easily distinguishable.
Art Deco Engagement Ring
The Art Deco Style has inspired many famous landmarks and artworks throughout the from the early 20’s until the mid 40’s.
Art Deco Engagement Rings are often accented with calibré set sapphires, onyx, rubies and emeralds. These rings will often have vivid, vibrant colors contrasted with diamonds and characteristic black onyx and enamel. New cutting edge technologies allowed for new geometric shapes in diamonds and gemstones such as straight and tapered baguettes, triangles, trapezoids and kite shapes. These technologies will be found in Art Deco Engagement Rings.
Though there are some Art Deco Engagement Rings that are set in gold, the bulk of the jewelry made in that era were made from platinum. It wasn’t until the Retro Period (and the banning of platinum during World War Two) that platinum became scarcer.
