The 1920’s

This was a time for a change, as WWI ended, and while diamonds still had that traditional hold, there were great developments in diamond shaping and cutting. For the first time, diamonds were combined with coloured stones to form attractive clusters, which are evident in Art Deco rings. If you would like to view some fine examples, check out impressive Art Deco diamond rings showcased at Kalmar Antiques, Australia’s leading diamond ring specialist who can also create the perfect ring, should you prefer to have one made.
For rings, platinum became widely used, and this metal proved to have the ideal properties for a ring, and although yellow and rose gold were still used in ring fabrication, platinum began to make its mark during the Art Deco era. Eventually, yellow gold gave way to white gold and platinum which can be clearly seen when looking at prime examples of popular engagement rings of that period. Luxury is prominent in all Art Deco design, and diamond rings were no exception, with floral cluster designs and more intricate lace patterns that would surround a central, round or oval stone, which became the Art Deco ring style we know so well today. Whether you choose platinum or gold, you should try to discover your partner’s feelings about this, without giving the game away, of course.

Art Deco signalled the beginning of creativity and experimentation, which is probably the reason why this era has stood the test of time. Tools underwent radical redesign and with the arrival of engineering machinery, the jeweller was more empowered than ever.
