Style
Although most people call this style Art Deco, it is more considered a product of the 1950s of the 20th century. Strongly influenced by Art Deco, but also by the retro style, it is difficult to say that this style is Art Deco, as the retro style and the style of the fifties are the successors of Art Deco.

Style specifics
This type of jewelry is very specific to the 1950s of the 20th century. The Art Deco period had ended only twenty years earlier and continued to serve as a source of inspiration. It is sometimes difficult (even for a trained eye) to distinguish Art Deco from the 1950s.

Additional information
Diamond is the birthstone for April and, besides being the most popular gemstone for engagement rings, 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 ordinary carbon. The ancient Greeks believed diamonds were splinters of stars fallen to Earth. Some even claimed they were the tears of the 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 has acquired its unique status as the ultimate gift of love. It was said that Cupid's arrows were tipped with diamonds, whose magic was unrivaled.
But it was only in 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy, that the tradition of diamond engagement rings was born. The very reason a woman wears it on the third finger of her left hand goes 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.
