Art Deco Diamond Jewelry

Art Deco Style Jewellery The 1920s and 30s was an age renowned for glitz and glamour, Hollywood movie stars, Flapper Girls, the Charleston and the Great Gatsby.

In short: Art Deco jewelry (1920–1939) is defined by bold geometric symmetry, platinum settings, calibré-cut colored stones, and old European or Asscher-cut diamonds. Authentic pieces from this era — Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany — regularly sell for $10,000–$500,000+ at major auctions. Modern Art Deco–inspired engagement rings start around $2,500 and capture the same architectural drama using lab-grown or smaller natural diamonds.

During this era of ‘The Roaring Twenties’ the modernist style of ‘Art Deco’ was born and was the very first internationally recognised style revolution influencing fashion, jewelry, interior design, buildings etc. Art Deco was in its heyday from the mid-1920s to the late 1930s and was a revolutionary pastiche of many different styles. This iconic look moved away from traditional flowing designs to very modern abstract lines. Art Deco is said to have been influenced by the bold geometric forms of Cubism and the bright colors of Parisian Fauvism and of the Ballets Russes.
