Be Stylish – Wear Your Vintage Art Deco Ring

If you have a favorite outfit that needs a bit of spicing up, why not try wearing it with a vintage art deco ring? Many of these pieces were designed during the Art Deco Movement which was taking place in the art world between 1920 and 1930. It had a strong influence on the jewelry making of that time period, and the results were some very luxurious pieces.

Most of the jewelry pieces created during this period were quite abstract in design with a lot of geometric patterning. Preferred stones for jewelry design were sapphire, onyx, emerald, coral, and of course, diamond.

Owning a vintage art deco ring today is definitely an asset and wearing one to the workplace is most definitely making a fashion statement. You are not likely to go out dressed like a Flapper of the 1920’s, but wearing a ring or other piece of vintage jewelry from this time may make you feel equally outrageous.

Coming out of the solemn days of the First World War, people were ready for some fun, color and wild design. Art Deco jewelry provided these options. The colors were bold and the shapes ranged from large and chunky to elegant and sophisticated.

Jewelry designers took their cues from such influences as the Pharaohs of Egypt, the Emperors of the Orient and even the tribal leaders of Africa. As with many things artistic, Paris was the true trendsetter of the Art Deco movement not only in art, but also in jewelry and fashion. These were the days of famous clothing designers like Coco Chanelle and Elsa Schiaparelli.

These styles and bold colors are back in style today and many pieces of costume jewelry have been fashioned as accessories to compliment this type of bold fashion. How lucky you are if you can wear a truly authentic vintage art deco ring instead of a modern day reproduction!
