Art deco engagement rings may not be everybody’s first choice, but no one can argue the fact that their sheer beauty and aesthetic are unrivaled. Distinctive, intriguing, and with an illustrious history, vintage art deco engagement rings are trending again for good reasons.
When it comes to engagement ring designs and styles, trends always exist. However, a few classics withstand the test of time. Even when they go out of style for a while, you can rest assured that they will always make a whopping comeback at some point or the other. Today, we look at art deco engagement rings and see how they have been a mainstay among designer and vintage engagement ring trends.
Let us first understand what art deco rings are exactly. The global cultural landscape has seen major artistic movements like the renaissance and post-renaissance eras come and go. The art deco fashion era is one of these major periods that lasted for about three decades. This era took some inspiration from the previous styles and lasted from about the early 1910s until the late 1930s. The style originated in France but soon became popular across the globe, including regions like Asia and Russia.
The art deco style in jewelry stood for symmetry and geometry. Bold designs with straight lines and acute angles were seen across jewelry, especially in engagement rings. You could see multiple sharp shapes like squares and triangles that gave the jewelry a distinct style and flair.
Today, brands like A.JAFFE feature a vast collection of vintage art deco engagement rings that are inspired by these geometric styles. While diamonds have always been an all-time favorite choice for rings, the art deco era saw beautiful colored gemstones like sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and amethysts serving as popular alternatives. Identifying art deco rings or designer engagement rings from this era was rather easy because of this vibrant array of colors.
So, as we know, vintage never goes out of style. Therefore, we have seen these vintage art deco rings make a major comeback, especially in the engagement rings segment. Today, it is not surprising to see these designer engagement rings regain popularity especially since they provide customers immense flexibility to choose the material, stones, and color, to find a ring that is one of a kind. These rings can really make heads turn, and hence, we see a lot of people gravitating toward these rings. If you are on the lookout for a vintage art deco ring, it is important that you understand this option in great detail before you choose a design you love.
Let us take a quick look at the pros and cons of buying an art deco engagement ring.
Pros
- An array of colors –
Vintage art deco engagement rings come in various, stunning colors and hence provide many choices from which the bride can choose. Colors add a special character to your ring and if you have a favorite color, you are likely to find it in the precious stones on one of our designer engagement rings.
- Shape and size –
Designer engagement rings have one job – to make a stunning style statement. Vintage art deco engagement rings do this job quite effortlessly! With an ornate design, these rings make a bold statement about you and stand out easily in the sea of gold and silver jewelry. Additionally, an overall larger setting makes this style ideal for long and thick fingers.
- Surrealism –
Art deco engagement rings are truly surreal. They strike the perfect balance between vintage and modern. In today’s times, the Art deco influence adds a modern touch to designer engagement rings that is vintage in essence. At A.JAFFE, we believe in creating jewelry that goes beyond spatiotemporal boundaries and becomes truly timeless.
- The human touch –
Art deco rings have the unique ability to catch attention because of the delicate and intricate craftsmanship that goes into making them. At A.JAFFE, we handcraft every engagement ring to perfection. Our selection of art deco rings and designer engagement rings are definitely distinct from run-of-the-mill, mass-produced, machine-made rings.
- Bold and beautiful –
Subtlety is fine when it comes to casual jewelry or everyday wear, but when it comes to your engagement ring, you do not want to take any half-measures. Our art deco rings exude boldness and radiance. After all, like you, we want all eyes on the bride and the groom on their special day, right?
Cons –
- Matching rings –
With such distinct designs, art deco engagement rings are slightly difficult to match with your partner’s ring (or with any pre-existing rings that you may have or choose to buy in the future). So, for those who want matching wedding bands, choosing one from among art deco rings can prove to be a challenge.
- Size –
While we said that these rings look stunning on long and thick fingers, because of their sheer size, sometimes art deco engagement rings can look overpowering on short fingers and on delicate hands.
- Rarity and genuineness –
In the case of vintage rings, finding something specific that is ready to wear can be difficult. Additionally, barring reliable stores or brands like A.JAFFE, finding the right one or evaluating its authenticity and value can also be an uphill task.
- Wear and tear –
As these rings are ornate and relatively larger in size and setting, caring for them can be a bit tough (as they are more prone to damage).
