What do Art Deco rings look like?

1 Answer
What Art Deco rings look like varies from piece to piece. The Art Deco period, encompassing the 1920s and '30s, ushered in a very distinct look in the design of jewelry. Jade, lapis lazuli, coral, turquoise and other bright gemstones became all the rage. While a lot of Art Deco jewelry was black and white, with the black coming from the use of onyx or black enamel and the white from rock crystal and diamonds, there was plenty of color in the jewelry of the era. The excavation of the tomb of King Tut in 1922 further left an indelible mark on all of the major jewelry houses, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and Georges Fouquet.
