Art Deco
Art Deco jewelry, popular in the 1920s to 1939s, is defined by geometric shapes, clean lines, and symmetry. Unlike the flowing forms of Art Nouveau, it embraces rectangles, triangles, chevrons, and bold architectural patterns. Platinum became the preferred metal, often combined with gold, allowing intricate and delicate settings.
Diamonds in brilliant, baguette, or step cuts were paired with colored gemstones like sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and onyx for striking contrast. Inspired by modern architecture, machinery, and exotic cultures, Art Deco jewelry features motifs such as sunbursts, fans, and stylized florals. Its elegant, bold, and timeless designs continue to influence contemporary jewelry.
