THE RESURGENCE OF MODERN ART DECO ENGAGEMENT RINGS
In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the demand for Art Deco engagement rings. This trend is driven by a desire for uniqueness and individuality in an age where mass production dominates the jewellery market. Couples today are looking for engagement rings that stand out, ones that tell a story and reflect their personal style. Unlike mass-produced pieces, all our designs are meticulously handcrafted to order in our Hatton Garden studio by skilled artisans. Each ring is a unique creation, ensuring that your engagement ring is truly one-of-a-kind and perfectly tailored to your vision.
Craftsmanship and innovation
Art Deco, with its bold geometric shapes and rich colours symbolises an era of glamour and sophistication. We believe in marrying these classic elements with contemporary aesthetics and advanced craftsmanship techniques. The result? Engagement rings that are both one-of-a-kind and robust, blending the timeless design of a bygone era with the durability and innovation of modern design.
Features of Art Deco jewellery design
Art Deco jewellery design refers to a distinctive style that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s. This style was influenced by the modernist movements of the time, as well as the industrial age, which brought new materials and techniques to the forefront of design.
Geometric shapes
Art Deco designs often feature strong geometric shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. These shapes are usually arranged in symmetrical and balanced compositions.
2. Bold and contrasting colours
The use of vivid, contrasting colours is synonymous with Art Deco jewellery design. Brightly coloured gemstones like rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are often set against sparkling white diamonds.
3. Linear and symmetrical designs
Art Deco jewellery typically features clean lines and a sense of symmetry and order. This creates a visually pleasing and harmonious aesthetic.
4. Motifs and patterns
Common motifs include sunbursts, zigzags, chevrons, and stepped forms. These patterns reflect the influence of contemporary art movements, as well as ancient Egyptian and Aztec art, which saw a revival in interest during the Art Deco period.
5. Influence of technology
The industrial age influenced Art Deco designs, leading to an emphasis on sleek, machine-like precision.
