Victorian Era (1835-1900) Engagement Ring Styles

During the Victorian era, Marquise shapes were highly favored in jewelry design, both as a gemstone shape and in overall patterns. This period also saw the rise in popularity of rows, halos, and diamond cluster rings. While large diamonds were not common during this time, diamond solitaires became fashionable among consumers. However, most diamonds used were old mine cuts, old European cuts, step cuts, or rose cuts as modern diamond cuts like the round brilliant had not yet been developed.

Art Deco (1920-1940) Engagement Ring Styles

During the Art Deco era, designers were able to create truly stunning pieces through their use of geometry and repetitive patterns. The metalwork was particularly noteworthy, featuring intricate bead embellishments and angular shapes that were both eye-catching and elegant.

The use of step-cut diamonds, such as the emerald, asscher, and baguette cuts, also added to the overall allure of this era's designs.

The interplay between the geometric shapes and the stepped facets of these diamonds made them especially popular during the 1920s and 1930s.

Retro Era (1940-1960) Engagement Ring Styles

Prior to World War II, few engagement rings featured a center diamond. However, after the highly successful DeBeers Diamond campaign, which began in the 1940s, engagement rings almost exclusively featured diamonds.

Unlike earlier rings, engagement rings from this “Retro Era” featured simpler designs. Solitaire rings and baguette side stones were quite popular, and the typical size of the center stone grew larger once the Depression ended.

Since the non-military use of platinum was banned during World War II, yellow and rose gold became the metals of choice for engagement rings in the United States during this period. Many rings from this era were two-toned, with both yellow gold and white gold in the design.

A modern round brilliant diamond in a simple gold design might just describe your grandmother’s engagement ring, and this nostalgia makes these rings popular today.
