A stunning example of Art Deco jewellery, this 14K white gold ring from the 1930’s showcases the distinctive, bold aesthetics of the era. At its centre lies a striking synthetic ruby, cut in a very unusual 3D octagonal shape that captures light with every angle, a design characteristic of the Art Deco movement’s fascination with structured and geometric forms.

The ring’s bezel and shank are adorned with finely engraved floral motifs, adding a touch of delicacy that contrasts beautifully with the strong lines of the ruby. The bevelled edges of the setting enhance the angularity of the central stone.

With a weight of 7.17 grams, marked and tested as 14K gold, this ring offers both substance and unique style.

Sized at UK S / US 9, it is a bold, wearable piece of history that embodies the Art Deco period.

The ruby measures approximately 14mm x 10mm x 4mm on its longest axes. Despite its age, the ring remains in excellent condition.

The Art Deco period of jewellery, which emerged in the 1920s and lasted until the mid-1930s, was all about glamour and luxury. Characterised by bold, geometric designs that emphasised symmetry and sleekness, jewellery incorporated gemstones such as onyx, lapis lazuli, and diamonds. The discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1922 also led to a revived interest in Egyptian motifs. The use of platinum and white gold became popular during this period, and gemstone cuts such as the baguette and emerald cuts were favoured.

Art Deco jewellery is particularly sought after for its classic style that’s unmistakably its own. Ravensbury Antiques offers Art Deco jewellery that has panache, from ornate linear patterns to standout pieces that grab attention for all the right reasons.
