A Guide to Popular Art Deco Wedding Bands

 

What Is an Art Deco Wedding Band?

An Art Deco Wedding Band is a beautiful and unique piece of jewelry perfect for any bride who wants a vintage look. Vintage Art Deco wedding bands were all the rage in the 1920’s and 1930’s and they are making a comeback in a big way. These rings are characterized by their angular and symmetrical design and their use of contrasting color gemstones. If you are looking for a wedding band or an engagement ring with character, an Art Deco ring is the way to go! These rings are show-stopping pieces of jewelry with vintage charm.

 Why are Art Deco Wedding Bands popular?

These wedding bands have been rising in popularity in recent years thanks to their unique design and timeless style. Characterized by strong geometric lines and bold shapes, Vintage Art Deco wedding bands make a statement without being overly flashy. A few of the most popular stones for Art Deco rings, in addition to diamonds, are emeralds, rubies and sapphires, lending a touch of elegance and sophistication to the band. The metal of choice is Platinum which gives the band an incredible shine that enhances the gemstone's sparkle.

The way to make an impressive statement is always an Art Deco ring whether it is an Art Deco Gold wedding band, Art Deco Platinum wedding band or an Art Deco Diamond wedding band.

What are the main characteristics of the Art Deco style?

Art Deco is a visual art movement that celebrates modernity through bold, geometric forms and simplified designs. Whether engraved on gold or platinum settings or set in colorful gemstones, Art Deco wedding bands are a stunning representation of the cutting-edge art of their time.

When purchasing an Art Deco wedding band, keep in mind to check for quality and authenticity and buy a piece that is an accurate representation of that era.

Quality is most important.

As with any other piece of Vintage jewelry, not all Art Deco rings were created equal. Some were made of more refined materials and showcased more sophisticated craftsmanship than others. So, if you are willing to invest in an Art Deco wedding band, be sure of the quality of gemstones and metals used and that the craftsmanship is worth the price.

Stay true to the Art Deco era.

If you want to buy a piece that is from the Art Deco time period, you must first understand the difference between an Art Deco wedding band and an Art Deco-style wedding band. The Art Deco style wedding band is not Vintage jewelry but features two or more design elements from the Art Deco era and is a wonderful way to incorporate vintage aesthetics into your modern jewelry.

How to Identify Art Deco Jewelry?

The striking beauty of Art Deco jewelry is an endowment of superior craftsmanship and, more importantly, the elements that make it what it is.

White Metals: During the Art Deco era, cool-toned metals were the most popular choice for creating jewelry and decorative pieces. White gold Art Deco wedding bands and Art Deco Platinum wedding bands were the favorites as these pieces exude a sense of modern sophistication and often reflect the sleek, streamlined aesthetic of this era. Today, you can find high-quality reproductions made from sterling silver, silver-plated base metal, nickel silver, and other white base metals, lending further variety to the selection of white metal wedding bands.

Repeated Geometric Motifs: Geometric designs have long been one of the defining features of the Art Deco aesthetic. These bold, eye-catching designs often feature straight lines and sharp angles but sometimes include soft curves and intricate details. Symmetry is another key element in Art Deco designs. Symmetry in Art Deco jewelry pieces offers a balanced feel and visual cohesiveness.

The Minimalist Beauty of Bezel Set Engagement Rings

 

If you want an engagement ring that exudes boldness and striking elegance, the Bezel Set Engagement Ring is your perfect fit. One of the oldest jewelry settings in the world, it features a sleek design that cradles the center stone and gives it a modern flair.

Let’s explore everything you need to know about Bezel-set engagement rings

Understanding the Basics of Bezel Setting

What is a Bezel Setting?

A Bezel setting is a distinctive ring design where the metal fully or partially encircles the stone, securing it in place. Unlike prong settings, the bezel setting offers a smooth, clean edge around the gemstone.

How Does a Bezel Set Ring Differ from Other Settings?

Unlike prong or pavé settings that expose more of the stone, bezel settings envelop the rim of the gem and offer a sleek and modern appearance. This setting style provides enhanced security for the stone and a contemporary look.

Why Choose a Bezel Set Ring?

Bezel settings are known for their durability, protection of the gemstone, and modern aesthetic. They are ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance, sturdy ring with a stylish flair.

A Peek Into the History of Bezel Set Rings

Having a Bezel set ring as your engagement ring is in itself a ‘wish fulfilled,’ but knowing a little bit about its history will help you admire this unique beauty even more.

The bezel setting has ancient origins, dating back thousands of years. Initially used for its practicality in securing stones, it has evolved into a symbol of modern sophistication.

These rings often represent eternal love, with the encircling metal symbolizing unending support and protection in a relationship, so they make the perfect engagement ring.

Materials and Gemstone Options for Bezel Set Rings

A Bezel set ring is a beautiful amalgamation of archaic and contemporary design, with many metal and gemstone options.

Here are a few ideas you can explore to make your ring stand out from other jewelry pieces you may want to adorn on your special day.

Traditional and Modern Metals for Bezel Set Rings

You can get your Bezel set rings crafted in a range of metals, from classic gold, rose gold and platinum to modern alternatives.

Gemstone Choices for Bezel Setting

While diamonds are popular, you can bezel set other gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, and even opals, offering a spectrum of colors and styles.

Pros and Cons of Different Gemstones in Bezel Setting

Each gemstone has its unique characteristics; some offer greater durability, while others require more careful handling. By bezel setting, you can enhance the longevity of softer stones.

The Beauty of Bezel Set Engagement Rings

The Bezel set has clean lines and a modern aesthetic, which makes it a favorite of jewelry designers. You can pair this ring with any style, whether alone or with other pieces of jewelry. This setting will be recognized for its sheer sophisticated design.

If you have yet to decide on your engagement ring, read on to know why the minimalist beauty of Bezel set rings makes it a must-have for all your important occasions.

Versatility and Adaptability in Different Settings - Bezel set rings are incredibly versatile so you can adorn them with styles from vintage to modern and casual to formal.

Practicality and Wearability

Comfort and Security - The smooth edges of bezel settings do not easily snag on clothing or other materials. These rings require minimal upkeep and are less prone to damage, making them a practical choice for everyday wear.

Protection Against Accidental Damage or Scratching - The bezel setting offers superior protection for the gemstone, guarding against chips, scratches, and accidental knocks.

Unique Design Possibilities - Standing Out with Simplicity

Bezel Set Rings as Statement Pieces - A bezel set ring can be a powerful statement piece with its bold and distinctive design standing out in a crowd.

Incorporating Geometric Shapes and Symmetry - The flexibility of bezel settings allows for creative use of geometric shapes and symmetrical designs, offering unique and eye-catching styles.

Mixing Bezel Settings with Other Design Elements - You can pair bezel settings with other ring styles, such as side stones or different metal finishes, to create a unique, custom look.

Choosing the Perfect Bezel Set Engagement Ring

These rings complement a wide range of fashion styles, from the minimalist to the avant-garde, enhancing the wearer's personal style. So don’t hold back and get creative. You can also customize your bezel set ring by engraving or adding unique stone settings.

Our Bezel set rings are special for the various options we provide and the quality assurance you get with every purchase. The quality of our bezel settings is evident in the smoothness of the metal, the precision of the fit, and the overall finish of the ring.
