Style
Art Deco - The Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style that originated in Paris in the early decades of the 20th century. Emerging in the 1920s, this style persisted until after World War II. The term "Art Deco" was widely used for the first time after an exhibition in 1966, in reference to the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, which marked the peak of high-end modern style in Paris. Championed by the best designers in the decorative arts, such as fashion and interior decoration, Art Deco influenced all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, notably architecture and industrial design, as well as visual arts like painting, graphic arts, and cinema. At the time, this style was perceived as elegant, glamorous, functional, and modern.

Style Specificities
Abstract motifs and geometric shapes are typical of the Art Deco period. Art Deco moves away from the soft pastels and organic forms of its predecessor, Art Nouveau, and draws inspiration from many styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Neoclassicism, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued in the United States until the 1930s. Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco is purely decorative.

Additional information
Diamond is the birthstone for the month of April and, in addition to being the most popular precious stone for engagement rings, it is also the anniversary gemstone for the 10th and 60th wedding anniversaries.
Although diamond is the hardest of all gemstones known to man, its composition is the simplest: it is made of ordinary carbon. The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars fallen to Earth. Some even claimed they were the tears of gods, crystallized lightning, or hardened drops of dew. The exact origin of diamonds remained a mystery for centuries.
In ancient times, only kings wore diamonds, symbolizing strength, courage, and invincibility. Over the centuries, diamond acquired its unique status as the ultimate gift of love. It was said that Cupid's arrows were adorned with diamonds, whose magic was unmatched.
But it was not until 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy, that the tradition of diamond engagement rings began. The very reason a woman wears it on the third finger of her left hand dates back to the Egyptian belief that the vena amoris (vein of love) ran directly from the heart to the top of the third finger of the left hand.
