This antique engagement ring with a marquise diamond in Art Deco style platinum weighs 3.1g and measures 11.5mm wide and 4.5mm deep. Constructed in precious platinum, this opulent Art Deco style ring is centered with an important 0.27ct prong-set marquise diamond graded J color and SI2 clarity surrounded in a foliate-motif frame comprising affluent bead-set full-cut diamonds. These sumptuous diamonds, collectively weighing 0.27cts and graded H-I color and SI clarity, adorn quixotic proliferating platinum shoulders bezel-set within triumvirate groupings of circular bejeweled silhouettes. Pierced openwork shoulders taper across this spherical, subtly reeded band concluding this Art Deco style engagement ring with an easily sizeable shank and an abstract pierced openwork undercarriage embellished with circular silhouettes.

Art Deco was a period of design whose 'modernization' caused it to stand apart. Influenced by the Far and Middle East, Greece, the Romans and the Egyptians, Art Deco rose like the Phoenix from the ashes of World War I. The introduction of cubism in the art world after 1925 brought about strong geometrical patterns strongly associated with this style today. Diamonds and platinum were used disregarding cost. Gemstones were cut into triangles, trapezoids, oblong shapes and emerald cuts.
