If you want a unique way to express your undying love to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, the art deco engagement rings might do the trick for you. Also, if your future fiancé loves vintage stuff, then she’s definitely going to love this style.

Art Deco, if you are not yet familiar, is a style that emerged from the L'Exposition Internationale des Arts Dératifs et Industriels Modernes or Exposition of Decorative Arts and Modern Manufactures that was held in Paris in the 1920’s. Characterized by highly geometrical forms, symmetry and bold usage of colours, this style greatly influenced architecture, the arts and even engagement rings.

Reflecting the Art Deco Style in Architecture evident in the Chrysler Building which featured a stacked streamlined
design, engagement rings in this style are usually piled up with gorgeous smaller stones surrounding a bigger stone in the middle. Yellow or white-gold and platinum were the popular metals used. Though this style is exemplified by the sharp contrast of the bright white of platinum combined with diamonds or crystals, colourful gemstones like rubies, sapphires, emeralds, turquoise and coral were also widely used.

Antique engagement rings are no doubt very expensive, but if you are lucky enough to find a genuine engagement ring in this Art Deco style, the purchase is worth it, not only due to the fact that it is highly collectible, it is very popular nowadays due to their rarity, craftsmanship and uniqueness but also because of the opportunity they give the wearer to have a beautiful piece of history in their jewellery box that she can treasure and protect.
