Art Deco engagement rings featured geometric shapes laid out in symmetrical designs. Jewelry designers often created geometric lines with gemstone and diamond shapes. Round cut and emerald cut were the most popular stone shapes of the era, but designers used many fancy shapes to create patterns. Art Deco engagement rings featured baguette cut, asscher cut, and trillion cut gemstones, among others.
Colorless diamonds were the top center stone choice for Art Deco engagement rings. Solitaire rings were uncommon during this era, which used gemstone and diamond side stones in abundance. Designers created patterns with diamond accents and used precious stones like rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and onyx to create color block effects.
Both yellow gold and white metals were used in the Art Deco era, but white metals were more popular. Most vintage rings of the era were created from platinum, a bright white metal and exceptionally strong metal that’s perfect for creating highly detailed designs.
Jewelry designers created the geometric designs of the Art Deco era using a wide range of design elements. Some common elements used in the era were halo settings, wide chunky bands, fancy stone shapes, colored gemstone accents, sculptural band details, channel settings, and pave settings. Milgrain, a type of border created with beads of metal, was also extremely popular in this era.
