This Art Deco engagement ring in antique style with diamonds and sapphires is crafted in lavish platinum, weighs 5.2g and measures 15.5 mm wide and 5mm deep. In absorbing geometric Deco style, this aesthetically enriched engagement ring is fundamentally positioned with an alluring bezel-set 0.61ct baguette diamond graded G color and VS1 clarity mounted in a vaulted rectangular setting surrounded by a border of well-matched channel-set French square-cut sapphires graded a vivacious 'medium-blue' color and 'good' clarity mounted within a floating-frame setting and accentuated by delicate mille grain edgework. A glowing rectangular perimeter inlaid with bead-set full-cut diamonds graded H-I color and SI clarity range enhances the color contrasted aesthetic grace of this alluring ring, embraced by tapering tri-dimensional shoulders adorned with 0.58cts of matching grade full-cut diamonds. This intriguing sapphire and diamond engagement ring features an impressive pierced openwork gallery embellished with Greek-key motif profiles and concludes with a spherical, easily sizable platinum band.

The outbreak of World War I in 1914 brought the first frivolous years of the century to an abrupt end and the production of jewelry to a virtual standstill. As the fashion industry began to recover in 1919, the simplified patterns inevitably adopted during the war years were transformed into the fashionable post war trends of the 1920's. The newly emancipated women strove for an androgynous look and the greater vertically of the line of dresses they wore favored the wearing of 'sautoirs' which were long and articulated necklaces in shorter forms to match the new shorter skirts. In 1925, an international exhibition of arts in Paris promoted the creation of innovative jewels in the style which came to be known as Art Deco, an abbreviation of the title of the exhibition. The decorative motifs of the Art Deco jewelry were characterized by extraordinary eclecticism, encompassing pure geometric shapes to stylizations of nature and reinterpretations of exotic oriental forms. The new and exciting possibilities in jewelry design offered by the Art Deco movement were embraced with enthusiasm world-wide and striking, chromatic effects were created by unusual combinations of previously unused gemstones. Precious and semi-precious stones were juxtaposed, such as green jade, black onyx and colorless diamonds to achieve bold color contrast and to emphasize the different ways gems reflect light.
