Tuesday, 10. November 2009
Art Deco Rings are decorative rings characterized by geometric designs and bold colors having a plain band topped off with a large construction of metal and stones. Like other Art Deco jewelry, art deco rings have highly stylized and graceful designs with a harshly geometric and symmetrical theme. They are designed with precise and intricate shapes and outlines such as pear cuts, marquises and emerald cuts.
Art Deco jewelry is an architectural piece that are usually made of platinum and diamonds. This is because the preferred color for Art Deco jewelry is black and white. But, jewelers use bold-colored gemstones such as ruby, emerald, sapphire, turquoise and coral to add drama to the jewelry
The term ‘Art Deco’ was coined from a title used in an exposition in 1925 by La Socit des artistes dcorateurs, a popular international art design movement during 1920s. In 1925, the society organized Exposition Internationale des Arts Dcoratifs et Industriels Modernes, which featured both French art and business interests. The term ‘Art Deco’ was used as a title in the exposition. This is where the name of Art Deco style was derived. Art Deco affected many different arts including fashion and jewelry.
