Antique Art Deco Rings

One of the most innovative and influential styles to emerge in the history of jewelry making is the popular Art Deco style or Style Moderne (from the 1920s-1930s).  Art Deco was a response to the elaborate Art Nouveau style (1880s to early 1900s) of flowing lines, detailed nature themes and intricate enameling.  Art Deco is distinctive in its use of sleek geometric shapes and brilliantly colored precious and semi-precious stones.  Other decorative materials include coral, jade, and black enameling.  Its popularity has influenced today’s jewelry with its clean, modern look.

Antique Art Deco Rings emphasize the quality, shape and color contrast of gemstones.  Types of large stone cuts include round, rectangular, and old mine cut (historic cut that creates a high crown).  Smaller stones are usually baguette (rectangular) or round cut and may form a glittering pavé setting (very closely spaced with an even surface). The beauty of a rare yellow rectangular cut diamond edged by a line of white diamonds is reflective of the Art Deco style of jewelry.

Select rings display scrollwork of simple nature motifs such as leaves and petals against platinum or white-gold bands. Other ring settings showcase a mix of square cut and round stones, accentuating the geometric pattern. A popular engagement ring design of this period is small pavé set fiery red rubies or vivid green emeralds circling a large round diamond.
