This Stunning Platinum Ruby and Diamond Art Deco Ring, dating from circa 1930, is a breathtaking example of the bold, geometric elegance characteristic of the Art Deco period. The centrepiece of the ring features a vibrant ruby, set securely in a full rub-over setting, which allows the deep red hue of the stone to take centre stage. On either side of the ruby, baguette-cut diamonds are also set in full rub-over settings, providing a sharp, clean contrast to the ruby’s warmth and contributing to the ring’s sleek, symmetrical design. Surrounding the diamonds, the ring is further adorned with diamonds grain-set into geometric sections, creating a striking pattern that is both intricate and refined. The addition of mill-grain borders along these sections adds a vintage, artisanal touch, elevating the ring’s overall elegance and complexity.

The shoulders of the ring are raised, allowing the design to flow beautifully into the finger, and are ornately decorated with floral hand engraving, which adds a delicate, romantic element to the otherwise structured design. This combination of geometric precision and intricate detail is a hallmark of the Art Deco style, blending modernist lines with decorative embellishments. Crafted from platinum, the metal provides a lustrous, durable foundation for the gemstones, ensuring the ring’s enduring beauty and timeless appeal. Whether as a statement piece or a vintage engagement ring, this ruby and diamond Art Deco ring is a stunning reflection of 1930s glamour and craftsmanship, destined to be treasured for generations to come.
