1920s vintage engagement rings were strongly influenced by advancements in technology and an increasing desire for strong geometric designs. This resulted in a cutting-edge style, featuring bold new cuts of gemstone and the more regular use of platinum as the preferred metal. Bright, bold gemstones were flanked by smaller diamonds, and other gemstones when creating 1920s vintage engagement rings, with three stone and cluster designs becoming exceptionally popular.
Platinum was the preferred metal for 1920s rings, largely due to its strength, and icy white colour. Furthermore, the intricate metalwork details seen in 1920s vintage engagement rings were only possible because of platinum and its hardness. This has also contributed to the longevity of these rings, allowing them to remain in immaculate condition a century on!
