he Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the end of World War I and the start of World War II; these rich periods of American history were all taking place at the same time as a unique decorating movement known as Art Deco. Characterized by the use of strong geometric shapes, symmetry of design and bold contrasting colors the Art Deco movement is one of the most memorable in history and has left us with some of the most beautiful architecture and design. Art Deco engagement rings are no exception, featuring rich designs, strong geometric shapes and elegant, sophisticated style.

Although Art Deco engagement rings can be found in both white and yellow gold, one of the most popular metals for rings during this period was platinum. One of the defining characteristics of the Art Deco movement was bold colors with sharp contrast and the bright white of the platinum contrasting with the stones is a perfect representation of this.

Today's engagement rings are relatively small compared to Art Deco engagement rings. Art Deco style rings tend to use multiple stones arranged in a stacked pattern leading up to a larger central stone. Key characteristic of these rings include sharp, contrasting colors, strong geometric shapes and the use of symmetry in the ring design.

Choosing an Art Deco engagement ring allows you not only to select a unique, beautiful ring, but also to capture a moment of history and allow it to live on in your future together.
