Art Deco Rings
Engagement Rings
&
Wedding Bands
Art Deco rings reflected the transition into the modern industrial age. The designs of these rings were very geometric, organized, square, and had a stiff block and linear type style which represented the cubism artistic styles of that era from 1915 through 1935. As the movement became even more popular, Art Deco wedding rings were produced in large numbers during this time by such companies as Cartier and Tiffany.

The Art Deco movement was strongly represented through geometric patterns combined with platinum bands, channel settings and old world (square) diamond cuts. The Art Deco diamond ring is almost instantly recognizable through its bold design and large square geometric cut diamonds which often feature a large table facet, and today Art Deco platinum diamond rings are one of the most high in demand of all antique engagement rings. Rings made during the Art Deco era were all about diamonds, and sapphires were the most common gemstones featured in Art Deco rings. Additional gemstones which were combined in Art Deco jewelry designs included black opal, coral, emeralds, jade, mother-of-pearl, rubies, and quartz crystals. Bright clashing colors of gemstones with interlocking or layered geometric patterns were widely used in ring designs and styles. Platinum was still the main metal, but white gold and sterling silver were sometimes used as well. Many rings were handcrafted and created by artists, designers, and craftsmen who strongly reflected the feel of the Art Deco period of time. Authentic rings from the Art Deco period are usually somewhat high priced - both due to the large diamonds which are frequently showcased in Art Deco jewelry and the high demand for rings made during this period; an authentic ring which captures the Art Deco era will cost at least a few thousand dollars. Metals and materials used to create the rings will also have an influence on the overall price. The good news is that due to the wide popularity of these rings in their day, and the high durability of platinum bands, many original and unique rings produced during this period survived in excellent condition.
To look for an authentic antique Art Deco wedding or engagement ring, keep in mind the higher cost of these rings, the most popular metal (platinum), the wide use of diamonds, and the geometric designs which characterized jewelry created in the Art Deco era.
