If your wedding theme so happens to be Art Deco (or like us, you like the look and love the dream), we’ve compiled a valuable reference sheet of gorgeous bridal jewelry that would compliment any upcoming vintage wedding.
Brief History of Art Deco
Prominent in the 1920’s and 1930’s, Art Deco became popular in America after World War I. Originally from France, the style is marked by its distinct lines and geometric shapes used throughout buildings and household items. One of, if not the most, notable building with Art Deco architecture is New York’s own Chrysler building.
You might think of flappers and polished young men in suspenders when thinking of the time. The looks of the time are still very attractive and complimentary to any sort of bride to be so we understand why many young, current brides consider this style when planning out their nuptials.
Keeping glam in mind, the following is a cheat sheet of head to toe bridal and fine jewelry for your Art Deco wedding!
Engagement Rings
Halo Engagement Rings
If you are looking for classic looks you must consider a halo engagement ring. Halo engagement rings came to prominence in the 1920’s during the middle of the Art Deco period and as such are the epitome of the time’s elegance.
At the forefront of the decade’s sophistication, Tacori engagement rings have been wooing women since 1969. This dazzling halo, Tacori’s HT2601PR85 from their RoyalT collection proudly boasts some of our favorite qualities of the look. Glamour is easily captured in the detailed baguette cut halo and the pave band setting. This ring seems to have an infinite amount of diamonds.
With so many halo options from Tacori, it was hard to choose just one. Another stunner, this Simply Tacori 2518RD65, also a halo ring, brilliantly displays another attribute of the time’s exuberance- colors! The sapphire and diamond color contrast halo really accentuates the ring’s overall sparkling look. It’s definitely one of our favorites here at PJD!
Solitaire Engagement Rings
Another excellent option for brides-to-be looking to channel their inner Daisy Buchanan (that gal from the Great Gatsby) are solitaire engagement rings. Solitaires, like halos, are ravishing and are a gracefully call back to classic beauty icons. Such is the case, with this beautiful Tacori Sculpted Crescent Engagement Ring 51PR55 who’s sharp princess cut diamond is highlighted by the large prong settings. The ring’s band merges the traditional solitaire with a modern twist and seems perfect for the sophisticated young woman.
Wedding Bands
If you are looking for designer quality wedding bands with that bewitching look, search no further than Michael M wedding bands. The artisans at Michael M craft wedding bands for both men and women thus couples can shop together for their bands with Michael M.
For women, we prefer this Michael M wedding band R401B. It’s vintage look is achieved by three channel paves. Available in platinum, 18-karat rose gold, white gold, yellow gold, and platinum, this gem easily rests next to your engagement ring.
Not to be neglected, for men, Michael M has handsome bands such as this Michael M wedding band MB-107 ring with a burnished finish and embellished with micro diamonds. It’s edges are markers of the 1920’s inspiration and we happen to really like the look of spaced out diamonds on a man’s wedding band.
Equally as exciting, finding the perfect fine jewelry accessories can really elevate your look. Pair your engagement rings and wedding band with a stunning statement necklace and your gorgeous gown, for a beautiful ensemble.
Nothing says glamour like this Simon G Vintage Explorer Necklace TP302. The delicate inner floral embroidery oozes old-school glamour to us and we simply love the additional detailing and the Art Deco look of the top of the pendant.
Since the style is a blend of several others, don’t be afraid to go for bold looks and designs. Ultimately, it’s your wedding and the more you manage to get incorporating the things that make you distinct, the more you will enjoy it. So have fun when selecting your wedding jewelry pieces!
