he 1920s was a revolutionary era in engagement ring design—it introduced geometric shapes, symmetrical patterns, faceted gemstone cuts, and bold color contrast. Although a great deal of Art Deco jewelry was mass-produced, the finest engagement rings of the era were handcrafted and designed by famous jewelers and fashion houses at the time.
The onset of the Great Depression and World War II gave an unexpected end to the Art Deco era, but there have been a number of revivals of the style, and its influences are still in vogue today. The 1920s engagement rings still recall an era of glamour and sophistication.
