2 Carat Emerald Cut Diamond Solitaire Ring In Full Bezel And 18K Yellow Gold Band
An art deco style and minimalism can be difficult to achieve because they are seen to be on the opposite sides of the spectrum. Art deco styles are typically bold and full of detail. This engagement ring however brings together both art deco and minimalism for a modern look that pays homage to the bygone era. Featuring a 2 carat art deco emerald solitaire, it is completely enveloped in a full bezel. This is what gives the ring its art deco look. The ring itself is 18K yellow gold.
You could customise this emerald ring by replacing the emerald cut diamond with and old European cut diamond or using rose gold instead of yellow gold.
3 Stone Simple Aquamarine Art Deco Engagement Ring In A White Gold Band
This is another example of an art deco style ring that makes use of minimalism to great effect. It features a 1.5 carat equivalent round aquamarine gemstone with two accenting pear cut diamonds in a white gold band.
If you wanted to lean more into the art deco era, you could add filigree to the band. And if you wanted to lean into a more minimalist style, you could turn the round aquamarine into an oval diamond, just like the ring below. And instead of accenting pear stones, it features accenting round diamonds, all in a 14K yellow gold band.
Leaning into the art deco era doesn’t mean need you need to shout it from the rooftops about it. This ring is just an example of that.
3 Stone Engagement Ring Featuring An Asscher Cut Diamond Centre Stone And Accenting Aquamarines In A Platinum Band
This Asscher cut three stone diamond and aquamarine engagement ring epitomises everything about the late-stage art deco era. It has bold geometric lines and clean symmetry running through the diamond with its windmill, but also the sleeker form of style reflective of the ‘Streamline Moderne’ with its accenting aquamarines and simple prongs. The platinum band also gives the entire ring an ice cool finish.
And while this engagement ring doesn’t feature the classical art deco era characteristics such as milgrain, it does speak to a modern rendition. So while this ring doesn’t shout art deco, it definitely does have all of the elements of something classic but unique.
If the Asscher diamond does excite you, make sure to work with a jeweller that you can trust. The grading reports don’t provide the full picture on getting the best Asscher that the eye can see. Below is an example. You can also learn more from our complete guide on Asschers.
Toi et Moi Champagne Asscher and Round Cut Diamond in a Rose Gold Band
Love the Asscher but want something more heyday art deco? This ring is the one for you. It features a 1.5 carat champagne Asscher cut diamond (yes a coloured diamond) and a 1 carat white round cut diamond in a 14K rose gold band. This engagement ring speaks to the roaring 20s and all of its glitz and glamour. We love this ring because it starts conversations, there is an interesting use of colour across the toi et moi, and combines both straight lines and curves in a sophisticated way. What’s not to love?
Toi et Moi Round Red Diamond and Round Ruby in a Rose Gold Band
Toi et moi is classic art deco. And if you love curves over straight lines, this ring might just be the one for you. And this is just another beautiful coloured-stone example. It features a 1 carat round cut red diamond and a 1 carat equivalent round ruby. Also the red diamond (the one on the left) is in a half bezel whereas the ruby is in full bezel. This is all held together with 14K rose gold.
