Few styles embody timeless sophistication quite like Art Deco engagement rings. Known for their geometric shapes, architectural lines and exquisite craftsmanship, these designs have captured hearts since the 1920s. Today, they remain one of the most desirable choices for couples looking for elegance, individuality, and lasting beauty.
At Faire & Fine, we craft contemporary interpretations of classic Art Deco engagement rings using lab grown diamonds. Each piece is handcrafted in Hatton Garden, London, where traditional artistry meets modern innovation. Whether you dream of a bold emerald cut, a distinctive Asscher cut, a sleek baguette detail or a shimmering five stone design, we’ll help you find or create your perfect engagement ring in gold or platinum.
Our rings are made to order and typically take around four weeks to produce. During busier periods such as Christmas, lead times can extend slightly, though we can often accommodate quicker timelines depending on design complexity and capacity.

What Does an Art Deco Engagement Ring Look Like?
Art Deco engagement rings are instantly recognisable by their structure and symmetry. They balance vintage character with precise geometry and bold silhouettes. Typical features include:
-
Geometric designs – octagons, rectangles, and stepped profiles.
-
Distinct diamond cuts – the emerald cut, Asscher cut and Old Mine Cut dominate.
-
Baguette accents – long, slender side stones that enhance the centre diamond.
-
Symmetrical compositions – every element designed in harmony.
Our Art Deco Lab Grown Emerald Ring (Semi-Bezel) perfectly captures the era’s balance of precision and glamour, a timeless design reimagined for modern tastes.
A Brief History of Art Deco Rings
The Art Deco movement emerged between 1920 and 1939, inspired by architecture, fashion and the machine age. It celebrated order, symmetry and modernity. In jewellery, this translated into bold patterns, geometric shapes and contrasting gemstones.
Art Deco engagement rings often featured platinum for its durability and brilliance, paired with diamonds and colourful gemstones such as sapphires or emeralds. Unlike the delicate floral motifs of Edwardian pieces, Art Deco rings embodied strength, glamour and independence, qualities that continue to appeal to modern couples.

What Did Audrey Hepburn’s Engagement Ring Look Like?
Audrey Hepburn’s ring perfectly illustrated understated Art Deco elegance. She received a stack of slim diamond bands set with baguette-cut stones, effortlessly chic, versatile, and sophisticated. This look continues to inspire contemporary designs that celebrate clean lines and subtle brilliance.
What Are the Three Key Features of Art Deco Engagement Rings?
-
Geometry and symmetry – precise lines and balanced shapes.
-
Mixed materials – the combination of diamonds, coloured gemstones and precious metals.
-
Architectural craftsmanship – strong settings and stepped designs that emphasise structure over softness.
Each of these elements can be found across our Art Deco engagement ring collections, from emerald cut solitaires to five stone masterpieces.

How to Tell If a Ring Is Art Deco
You can identify Art Deco engagement rings by their symmetry, geometry and craftsmanship. Look for:
-
Step-cut diamonds like emerald cut or Asscher cut.
-
Baguette or trapeze side stones.
-
Platinum or white gold settings.
-
Strong architectural lines and layered detailing.
Our Emerald Cut Trilogy Engagement Ring exemplifies these qualities: sleek, balanced and unmistakably Deco.
Are Art Deco Engagement Rings Worth Anything?
Yes. Original pieces from the 1920s are highly collectible, while modern lab grown diamond Art Deco rings offer the same iconic style with accessible pricing. Their enduring appeal ensures long-term value, both emotionally and aesthetically.
At Faire & Fine, we make these designs more attainable by offering versions in 9k or 14k gold, without compromising craftsmanship or beauty. For tailored quotes, book an appointment to explore materials and customisation.
Are Coloured Stones Common in Art Deco Rings?
Absolutely. The 1920s celebrated contrast, sapphires, emeralds, rubies and onyx were often paired with diamonds to create vibrant, eye-catching compositions. Modern Art Deco engagement rings still embrace this, with couples choosing lab grown emeralds or accent stones to personalise their design.
Why Is Art Deco Jewellery So Expensive?
Authentic Art Deco rings are rare and often hand-cut, which drives up their value. However, with lab grown diamonds, you can achieve the same visual impact at a fraction of the cost.
At Faire & Fine, every Art Deco engagement ring is designed to reflect your budget, style and story, from £1,500 upwards, with bespoke creations for higher budgets.
What Is the Difference Between Edwardian and Art Deco Engagement Rings?
Edwardian rings are delicate and romantic, full of floral and lace-like filigree. Art Deco engagement rings, in contrast, are bold, geometric and structured, more architectural than ornamental.
Our Lab Grown Emerald Cut Five Stone Engagement Ring represents this transition perfectly: elegant, balanced and confidently Deco.
Is Art Deco Still in Style in 2025?
Absolutely! The Art Deco aesthetic continues to influence fine jewellery, with couples drawn to its timeless geometry and vintage character. In 2025, emerald cut and five stone rings remain among the most sought-after Art Deco designs in London’s Hatton Garden.
What Is the 3-Month Rule for Rings?
The idea that an engagement ring should cost three months’ salary was a 20th-century marketing concept, not a tradition. At Faire & Fine, we focus on craftsmanship and meaning, not formulas.
Our Art Deco engagement rings start from £1,500, with most clients spending around £2,500.
How Long Does It Take to Make an Art Deco Engagement Ring?
Each Art Deco engagement ring is made to order and takes around four to six weeks to complete. During peak times, especially at Christmas, it’s wise to order early.
Depending on design complexity and our workshop’s capacity, we may also be able to offer faster timelines. Book an appointment to discuss your schedule.
