Known for their angular lines, geometric patterns and vivid colour contrasts, art deco engagement rings are one of the most unique kinds of jewelry available. Although the art deco movement lasted from the 1920s through until the 1930’s, it’s influence in in both architecture and jewelry can be seen right up until present day.

Art Deco, as an art movement began in the 20’s in France when a famous art exhibition was held in Paris, celebrating artwork which drew inspiration from the modern technological advancements at the time such as the boom in the railway system, large skyscrapers and the vast increase in infrastructure. This led designers to make use of repetitive patters, sleek angles and unique geometric shapes. For some examples of the use of art deco styling in buildings, be sure to check out images of the Chrysler Building in New York as well as the Los Angeles Library.
