The story: Taking its name from the 1925 World’s Fair titled “International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts,” the Art Deco movement is characterized by its geometric designs reminiscent of industry (no screws, nuts, gears). The period is also characterized by the use of colored stones and materials as well as opulent gilding, especially in architecture. While white metals found favour with the jewellers of the time, yellow gold did not disappear completely and continued to exalt the imagination of goldsmiths, as shown in this incredible ring.
