Art Deco is perhaps amongst the most recognisable styles in history. The 1920s-1930s had huge influence on the way in which jewellery was designed and many long-established jewellery companies, including Tiffany & Co, designed and created many of their iconic pieces during this time. Art Deco jewellery, and art deco engagement rings in particular, have some characteristics which make them truly distinguishable from any other era.
Whilst the Victorian era influenced elegant and romantic jewellery pieces, the Art Deco era made way for a new and modern aesthetic. Vintage Art Deco engagement rings were mainly designed using white gold, yellow gold, platinum and silver and incorporated stones such as pearls, diamonds and rubies - all of which were very attractive and sought after at the time. Art Deco engagement rings also tended to use geometric shapes and settings and you’ll be able to distinguish genuine Art Deco jewellery pieces as the colours will usually be very bright. Not only are Vintage Art Deco engagement rings bold and beautiful, but they are also very desirable and have a high value.
