If you want to purchase a two-tone Art Deco diamnond
engagement ring,
you have two options: You can purchase an authentic antique ring or a
reproduction.
History- The Art Deco period (1920s) got started just after diamond cutters were employing
more sophisticated methods using the European cut (a rounder crown than the square crown of old
mine cuts), which evolved into the modern brilliant cut you see today. In the early 19 Century,
before WWI and WWII, platinum was widely used for bands and settings. Art Deco also incorporated
a lot of white gold in the bands and prong settings as well.
If you choose to purchase an authentic two-tone Art Deco diamond engagement
ring, be sure you have the piece certified by a professional gemologist.
Their findings, often termed "cert" and considered the fingerprints of
the diamond are important for insurance and reselling purposes. If you
plan on wearing the engagement on a regular basis, be sure that the stones
are securely mounted and that the settings are not worn down.
Reproductions are another option. Check below for some sites that sell modern two-tone art
deco diamond engagement rings made with modern methods.
