This ring, a harmonious blend of 1950s style and the geometric elegance of Art Deco, tells the story of a timeless commitment. Made around 1950, it embodies the spirit of the era, at the crossroads of retro and Art Deco styles with its platinum brilliance and bold design. At its heart, an untreated 2.20-carat emerald, set with 14 old-cut diamonds totaling approximately 2.24 carats, evokes ancient Roman engagements and the enduring tradition of engagement rings, which became standardized with diamonds in the West around the 1930s. Each stone attests to its natural beauty and authenticity, echoing a story of promises of love.

Style specifics:
This type of jewel is typical of the 1950s. The Art Deco period, which had ended only two decades earlier, remained a major source of inspiration. Even for a trained eye, it can be difficult to distinguish Art Deco pieces from those of the 1950s.

Additional information:
Engagement rings were already used in Roman times, but their popularity in the West only regained momentum starting in the 13th century. The first recorded use of a diamond engagement ring dates back to Archduke Maximilian of Austria, in 1477. Before the 20th century, other forms of engagement gifts, such as thimbles, were often used, notably in religious communities that avoided jewelry. Diamond rings became widespread from the 1930s. Today, about 80% of women receive a diamond engagement ring. (Source: Wikipedia)
