Art Deco Emerald Engagement Rings

Emerald engagement rings have a special mystique to them, perhaps because of their history of being gifts that are given to very sophisticated and cultured women. A good example is the tiny 3-carat emerald and diamond ring that was given to Jacqueline Bouvier when she accepted John F. Kennedy Senior's marriage proposal. Even today, emerald and diamond rings have a maturity and daintiness to them that is very reminiscent of the Art Deco era of jewelry design.

Originally the design of art deco rings were composed of many metals including white and yellow gold and platinum. These multi-toned metals complimented the gem stone design of these rings that usually included a central gem stone flanked by two other stones of the same color. Emerald and diamond rings set in this manner (with either two diamonds flanking a giant emerald or two emeralds flanking a diamond) were very popular. In the Edwardian era, rubies lapis, turquoise, coral jade and onyx were also sometimes combined with diamonds and emeralds to create spectacular one of a kind emerald engagement rings.

Today you can many retro reproductions of these Art Deco and Edwardian emerald engagement rings and uniquely set into interesting intricate designs such as flowers and leafs. These charming emerald engagement rings make an impressive one of a kind piece of matrimonial jewelry. Today, jewelers can create modern reproductions of art deco emerald engagement rings that are customized individual tastes. These new rings can incorporate a choice of two or three metals and fancy stone work as well as elaborate engraved scrollwork both on the inside and the outside of the ring to truly personalize the jewelry.
