Art deco ring
Art Deco Rings are decorative rings characterized by geometrical designs and bold colours having a plain band topped off with a large development of metal and stones. Like other Art Deco jewellery, art deco rings have highly stylized and classy designs with a harshly geometrical and symmetrical theme. They are designed with precise and intricate shapes and outlines such as pear cuts, marquises and emerald cuts.
These architectural pieces are often made with platinum and diamonds as the preferred color for Art Deco jewellery is black and white. However, ruby, emerald, sapphire, turquoise and coral are often set. These bold-colored gemstones add drama to the jewellery.
Art Deco was a title employed in an exposition by a popular international art design movement called La Socit des artistes dcorateurs. In 1925, the society organized Exposition Internationale des humanities Dcoratifs et Industriels Modernes. The exposition featured both French art and business interests and made use of the term Art Deco as a title, where the name of Art Deco style was derived. It influenced many different humanities including fashion and jewelry.
The recognition of Art Deco jewellery started during World War Two. At that point, the females commenced demonstrating their new equality by wearing short dresses and cutting their hair short. They accessorized their new, boylike style with Art Deco jewellery, like long hanging earrings and necklaces, multiple bracelets and bold rings.
In Art Deco jewellery, the free flowing curves and naturalistic motifs were modified to a harshly geometrical and symmetrical theme. Today, it consists of arcs, circles, rectangles, squares, and triangles. Jewelers add long lines and curves to bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings.
Art Deco rings are highly collectible. These unique pieces are excellent for folks whose styles are bold as Art Deco rings aren’t meant for a sophisticated look. They are supposed to be spotted. They have classy sparkle that may surely stand out in a group.
Art Deco rings may also be used as engagement rings. Art Deco engagement rings have antique aspect, making it an ideal jewellery to pass on to future generations. Antique engagement rings have a wonderfully romantic feel that hearkens back to a faster time. These vintage pieces are frequently hand engraved and possess a very female look.
Art Deco engagement rings are frequently designed with a huge square center stone trapped by smaller square stones or triangular stones. These engagement ring alternatives put a unique spin on the conventional and classic diamond rings. Here are few tips in buying Art Deco engagement rings.
1. First, know how your future wife feels about having a skill Deco engagement ring. If she does not mind wearing an untraditional engagement ring, then, Art Deco ring is a good alternative.
2. Art Deco rings are typically made with small diamonds, so be sure she knows this. If she is’s ok with not having a big stone on her engagement ring, then, there will be no problem. If not, there are Art Deco engagement rings that were set with small diamonds but are designed in such a way that these pieces of diamond will look like one gigantic diamond.
three. Aim for the sleek look. Use contrasting shapes and don’t focus on the conventional princess or round cut diamonds. If she likes white diamonds but need a unique ring, Art Deco engagement ring with pear or trillion cuts is ideal.
4. You can set your diamond with colored gemstones. And to make it more soft, choose the one with your future wife’s birthstone or the birthstone of the month of the marriage.
5. Lastly, look for a ring with a complicated detailing and focus on the diamond setting.

why is it that in art deco paintings there are so many red heads?
i love art deco and i was looking at a bunch and i noticed there were redheads everywhere, does anyone know why?
“The themes of fun, sexuality, optimism, a loosening of morals, freedom from previous constraints, exotic use of color, filled the air in the society of the Roaring Twenties that gave birth to Art Deco are the same kinds of traits that are attributed to red headed women.”
“Art Deco flourished in the Jazz age of the roaring twenties. “The Roaring Twenties ushered in a spirit of frivolity, exotic luxury, wild fun, and a sense of freedom and hopefulness. There was a sense of excitement and expectancy in the air, a time of anticipating a future filled with promise. And it was during this hustle and bustle of activity that the Art Deco style began to emerge.”

Marion Roach in her book about red heads (The Roots of Desire) says that “According to stereotypes red hair is a female marker of sexual ability. In fact, redheaded women are represented as the most ravishing women in art. All those flowing tresses in Maxfield Parrish’s paintings, in the work of Dante Rossetti and the pre-Raphaelites, (and Art Deco period as well) indicate a delicate, uncontrollable beauty that has a unique appeal.”
“In instance after instance, in paintings, mythology and literature, of redheaded women are portrayed as more wild, difficult, sexually rapacious, and even, in an ancient echo to the modern science story, extraordinarily resistant to authority.”
(Red-haired men, conversely, are generally considered wimpy and unattractive.)
