Art Deco Diamond Engagement Rings

The 1920s saw the rise of the Art Deco movement, characterised by bold geometric patterns, luxurious materials, and a celebration of modernity. This period, which followed World War I and lasted into the 1930s, was marked by optimism and a fascination with progress. Jewellery designers moved away from the ornate styles of the Edwardian and Victorian eras, opting for sleek and symmetrical designs.

Art Deco engagement rings are noted for their architectural influences and often feature geometric shapes. The use of platinum became popular for its durability and ability to hold intricate designs, while Old European cut diamonds were favoured for their brilliance. Many rings incorporated accent stones such as sapphires, emeralds, and rubies, enhancing their visual appeal. Milgrain detailing added texture and depth to these pieces.

Symbolising a shift from tradition, Art Deco diamond engagement rings reflect the cultural changes of the Roaring Twenties and are now cherished for their timeless elegance and craftsmanship, making them highly desirable among collectors and brides seeking unique, beautifully crafted pieces.
