Contemporary Engagement Rings
CONTEMPORARY STYLE
Contemporary jewelry is inextricably linked with the moment in which it is created, frequently reflecting current social, cultural and political issues such as environmental consciousness, identity and sustainability. It’s informed by fashion trends, from the chokers of the 1990s to the large chain necklaces of the early 2000s.
Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of adornment. Lockets made of silver or gold have been treasured gifts for hundreds of years, for example, and charm bracelets, which have existed since prehistoric times, didn’t become especially popular until the 19th-century reign of Queen Victoria. For many centuries, fine jewelry was used primarily to express wealth or status through lavish materials. Then, in the 1960s, a concept known as the “critique of preciousness” emerged, with jewelers creating pieces that did not get their value from gemstones or precious metals. Instead, it was the jeweler’s artistic vision that was prized and elevated.
This shift still informs Contemporary jewelry being made by artists today. Whether they are using cheap, found materials and working with provocative geometric shapes or seeking out the rarest stones, they are imbuing their work with meaning through their skills, techniques and ideas. Innovative designers such as Elsa Peretti, who popularized sculptural sterling-silver jewelry for Tiffany & Co., and David Yurman, who twisted metal into the simple yet striking Cable bracelet, have also influenced the direction of Contemporary jewelry’s forms and aesthetics.
Meanwhile, technological advancements like metal alloys and laser engraving have led to new possibilities in jewelry design. Now, edgy makers and brands as well as minimalist designers are pushing Contemporary jewelry forward into the 21st century.

18K Gold 12ct No Oil Russian Emerald Ring, Crown Design Ring
By MOISEIKIN
Located in Hong Kong, HK
Russian emerlalds are hardly seen on the market nowadays due to being a private treasury of Tsar, followed by the state. However, Russia had been one of the biggest emerald producers since 1830's discovery in the Ural mountains so that world famous jewellery houses had purchased large deposits to make their magnificent jewellery works.
Ural emeralds are outstanding in terms of their special, exceptional colour that distinguishes them from all the other emeralds widely sold on the market. It can be attributed to the chrome and iron inclusions, giving them vibrant hue and brilliant glow which capture your eyes.
MOISEIKIN created this historically unique and fascinating non treated 12ct Emerald...
