Why are Art Deco rings so trendy?

Birth of Art Deco

Art Deco, or “decorative art,” is an artistic movement that emerged during the interwar period. This movement encompasses architecture, cabinetmaking, design, sculpture, typography, fashion, and jewelry. Early Art Deco jewelry advocates the return of geometry, straight lines, and symmetry. It is characterized by its multiplicity of influences: Asian art, Western art, West Africa, ancient Egypt, futurism, Russian ballet, and more.

Art Deco Jewelry

Worn by the greatest icons of the Roaring Twenties such as Josephine Baker, Greta Garbo and Louise Brooks, the Art Deco ring style has earned a prestigious place in hearts.

The Art Deco period of the 1930s sanctified the use of platinum and white gold, as well as the use of diamonds creating lacework on Art Deco ring settings.

At that time, antique jewelry was compared to a work of art or a sculpture. The pure, geometric shapes and tiers of Art Deco rings were true masterpieces of technical skill. The craftsmanship of the material was a pure feat, creating filigree rings designed like embroidery. Filigree is a hallmark of the Art Deco movement in jewelry.

Today, the Art Deco emerald, sapphire, or diamond ring is the star of vintage rings. From its meticulously sculpted shapes to its resplendent stone embellishments, it captivates us with its timeless elegance. It's still worn by the biggest stars, such as actresses Scarlett Johansson and Pippa Middleton.
