One reason that Art Deco jewelry is so special is the attention to detail that’s so evident in the jewelry of that era. Edwardian jewelry is often the same. People simply understood that a piece of jewelry could be seen from any angle, so they made sure that all of the angles were beautiful.
This ring is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. Please note the classic Art Deco geometric motif with the diamonds and sapphires, the contrasting color scheme of the deep blue sapphires with the bright diamonds and platinum mounting. And every time you turn the ring, there’s something beautiful to look at.
The tiny, platinum threads framing the diamond-set shoulders.
The stunning, intricate undergallery.
The engraving on the sides of the ring.
It’s an all-around work of art. You could stare at your hand for hours and never get bored. Sounds like a good time to me. This ring is currently for sale at Lang Antiques. All images and info are thanks to Lang.
