Art Déco Ringe

(around 1920 to 1940)

The social innovations in the years following the First World War also had an impact on jewellery production and led to an innovative design language, influenced by the rich cultural treasures of distant countries and the avant-garde lines of Cubism and Futurism that were emerging at the same time. Art Deco rings therefore have a geometric design and clear lines. Find out more"

Art Nouveau vs. art deco

While the natural designs of Art Nouveau with its organically curved lines, vegetal ornaments and decorative embellishments were preferred at the beginning of the new century, the Art Deco jewellery was inspired by a new technical world. The Art Deco ring exudes luxury and is accordingly cool, elegant, modern and unfussy.

The metal

Art Deco rings - like the entire jewellery fashion of the time - reflect a preference for light-coloured alloys. The precious metal of choice was platinum, which was used to make jewellery from the second half of the 19th century onwards. White gold, on the other hand, was "invented" in Pforzheim in 1912 and had to establish itself in the jewellery industry in the years that followed. An Art Deco ring made of gold is sometimes rarer to find due to its warm colour tone.

The setting

Sentimental, delicately playful pieces of jewellery in pastel colours - such as those worn during the Belle Epoque - were now out of fashion. The Art Deco ring relied on primary colours and black and white contrasts. It is therefore not surprising that gemstones such as sapphire, ruby, emerald or deep black onyx were particularly popular. Maximum luxury was of course symbolised by the diamond, which experienced a heyday during Art Deco.

The design

Art Deco rings were typically shield-shaped, polygonal, oval or dome-shaped. The Art Deco ring in boat shape also remained in vogue.

Coloured stones were often found in the centre of the design, set geometrically and framed with diamonds or other calibrated cut coloured stones.

Art Deco rings with numerous small, pavé-set diamonds looked particularly glamorous and were given their typical contemporary design by the special technique of the millegrain setting. The contours of the settings were decorated with small, spherical grains, creating a particularly elegant and nuanced overall impression.

Art Deco rings today

Art Deco jewellery is no longer subject to fashion; it has become a timeless expression of the highest elegance. An Art Deco ring with a diamond is an absolute classic and, thanks to its clear design, also fits into today's society. At the same time, it embodies a touch of nostalgia and still exudes the glamour of the Roaring Twenties. Art Deco engagement rings, which embody the connection between two lovers particularly well as unique pieces, also make an individual statement.

An Art Deco men's ring can be just as unique, making it the perfect accessory for the modern gentleman in Gatsby style. An Art Deco ring can be interpreted in an antique or modern way by incorporating it into your personal style and therefore offers a wonderful opportunity to express your own personality.
