A Bold Break From the Past

Art Deco took its name from The Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris in 1925, which was largely dedicated to the jewelry arts. Unlike the flowing, nature-inspired curves of Art Nouveau, yet retaining some of the lace-like elegance of the Edwardian era that preceded it, Art Deco reflected the cultural shift toward modernism, favoring strong lines, bold curves, and symmetry. The result? Engagement rings with striking geometric designs, plenty of sparkle, and an air of sophistication that still feels fresh today.
