Art Deco Engagement Rings

Art Deco engagement rings have always had a broad appeal, incorporating as they do a wide variety of design styles. Some Art Deco engagement rings feature geometric configurations; others take inspiration from flora and fauna. Art Deco rings sometimes borrow elements from the Orient, Ancient Egypt and tribal Africa, but equally they can take their inspiration from Cubist art.

The spirit of the Art Deco age, which covered the decade from 1920 to 1930, was doing what you could with what you had. Designers generally embraced simplicity, rejecting the decadence and arrogance prevalent in the decades before World War One, the era of Great Power politics and the Titanic Disaster.

Whilst some interwar jewellers were still catering to wealthier clients with groundbreaking and expensive designs, others were replicating this success in cheaper materials for the mass-market customer, or adapting it in the form of derivative creations. But for all that cheaper materials were used in abundance, gold, precious stones and platinum - a new luxury metal - were also very popular.
