If you are soon to be officially ‘in a relationship’ with your soulmate and you have a thing for Art Deco, getting engaged is a great opportunity to invest in a stunning Art Deco diamond engagement ring. Most couples forego the surprise of an engagement, preferring that they both choose the ring, which does make sense as you will be wearing the ring most of the time.
Here are a few style points to bear in mind when looking at Art Deco diamond engagement rings:
Choosing Stones - Fortunately, the Art Deco period was a time for rich colours and just about every gemstone made it into jewellery. Of course, we all know that diamonds are a girl’s best friend and it is traditional to choose diamonds for an engagement ring; there are attractive pieces that have diamonds combined with sapphires, rubies or emeralds, which is ideal if you have a soft spot for one specific gemstone.
Colour - When looking to pair diamonds with green emeralds or deep red rubies, the Art Deco era saw lots of rich colour and finding the perfect engagement ring is easy when you search the online antique dealer’s website. Popular stones include amber, aquamarine, amethyst and jade. Browse in the comfort of your own home until you find the ring that ticks all your boxes; do check sizes when ordering antique rings.
Choosing A Shape - There are all shapes in this design: round, oval, square, rectangular and even triangular. Choose a shape that works for you. If you would like to view a stunning collection of simple Art Deco engagement rings, talk to the online antique dealer and see what they have to offer. It is worth noting practicality; you don’t want a ring with sharp edges that protrudes, for obvious reasons. You might prefer an elongated emerald with a rectangular shape, or you love the simplicity of the Brilliant Round diamond, the Art Deco period spawned the seeds for a style that changed the world.
Pairing With The Wedding Ring - If you are planning to pair your engagement and wedding rings, this narrows down your choices somewhat, yet the dealer has many fine Art Deco engagement rings that are for sale. You could, for example, acquire the engagement ring and put a reserve hold on the wedding ring, which means you can choose both now. Rings of similar design would be ideal and let’s face it, not many girls get to choose their engagement and wedding ring at the same time!
We are all unique and for such an important occasion as getting engaged, a one-off Art Deco diamond ring is the perfect symbol or your love for each other. The antique dealer would likely know a lot about the ring’s history and background, which is always nice to know. Who knows what a 100-year-old piece of jewellery has witnessed? The imagination provides the rest and can paint an intriguing past and as far as the future goes, the ring will be handed down to the next generation to become a family heirloom that you will be proud to hand to your first child of marrying age.
