We are going back in time to the 1920s and ‘30s to analyze our favorite art deco ring features. With so many new and exciting engagement ring designs that pop up each year, it’s important to return to the root inspiration for many of these trends. When it comes to vintage-inspired rings, there is no better place to start than the fundamentals of art deco style rings.
What Does Art Deco Mean?
During post-war time feminism when women were staking their claim in the workplace, there was a new era of jewelry design being coined “art deco.” Innovative types of art deco style rings introduced bold geometric designs that added more dazzle and gave women a way to express their femininity through jewelry. There was more middle-ground for working women who still wanted to appreciate finery; all of which led to a fresh new style of historical engagement rings.
