Stars such as Scarlett Johansson and Olivia Wilde sport engagement rings inspired by Art Deco design. The latest celebrity to be proposed to with an Art Deco engagement ring is Pippa Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister revealed her new diamond engagement ring this week after hedge fund millionaire, James Matthews, popped the question.
The Art Deco era is perhaps one of the most prominent periods in the history of jewellery design. From the early 1920s up until 1940s, Art Deco widely represented the glamour, exuberance & luxury of the era and paved the way for design elements used in jewellery design to this day.
Typically featuring intricate details and geometric lines, Art Deco design has continued into the twenty-first century, impacting on a variety of other design areas from architecture and interior design to textiles and electronics.
