The Diamond

Carats are the most common method of weighing out diamonds to determine the price value. A 1 carat diamond, like the one in the Art Deco Vintage Diamond Ring, weights 0.20 grams. Price rises exponentially with carat weight, since the bigger diamonds are more rare.

The Gold

This ring is a two tone with 18kt yellow and white gold around the diamonds. 18kt gold means the gold is made of 75% pure gold with the remainder being alloys that determine the color. For example, copper and zinc are used in yellow gold while silver and pallidium help make up white gold. Most white golds are plated white rhodium to make them look more white. White gold can be more expensive that yellow gold. Because 18 kt gold is very durable it is the preferred choice for ladies engagement and wedding rings.

Art Deco

Art Deco refers to the period between 1920 and 1930 and was the growing age of flappers, jazz, machinery and jewelry with bold colors and geometric shapes . Some say the Art Deco period died along with the great depression, but we still see lots of new Art Deco clothing, furniture, and jewelry today.
