1950s Rings
The 1950s were a time of elegance and sophistication in jewellery design, reflecting post-war prosperity and a renewed sense of optimism. Rings from this era often featured bold and glamorous designs, emphasising luxurious materials and meticulous craftsmanship.
One of the hallmark styles of the 1950s was the use of large, prominent gemstones, often in emerald, oval, or round cuts, set in platinum or white gold. The focus was on showcasing the stone's clarity and brilliance, as seen in the use of prong settings that elevated the gem to catch the light beautifully.
Designs from this decade frequently incorporated intricate detailing such as milgrain edges, filigree work, and baguette or round diamond accents that added sparkle and complexity to the main gemstone. The style was both timeless and modern, balancing the traditional with a touch of innovation.
The influence of Hollywood's Golden Age also played a significant role, with movie stars often seen wearing extravagant jewellery, setting trends in both engagement rings and cocktail rings. The rings from the 1950s remain a symbol of classic elegance, characterised by their bold yet refined aesthetic.
