Dazzling Art Deco Engagement Rings We Can’t. Stop. Staring. At.

Mar 7

Circa 1921 meets circa 2023

Fast forward from Georgian’s royalty to flappers and speakeasies, Art Deco is one of the most desired eras when it comes to choosing “the” ring. Authentic Jazz Age jewels can be found by way of the best estate suppliers, and today’s designers are continuously reimagining deco style. The 2021 high jewelry season was brimming with geometric shapes and bold gemstones, reassuring fans that luxury can still be playful, as does this mash-up of rings, both old and new.

Mosaic

Los Angeles-based Berlinger is a genuinely bespoke brand where you can either start from scratch with an idea or pick a style on their site and customize it down to its width, dimension, and stones. You can even use stones from family heirlooms. This kite-shaped number makes a grand statement for every day of married life.
