Some more lovely engagement rings to look at (and obsess over). Today’s theme? Architecture! Yup we’ve got some gorgeous architectural art deco rings for you today. They’re all just flat-out pretty, but they’ve also got this highly structural, skyscraper-y look without sacrificing elegance and delicacy.

As you know, we’re deeply, powerfully vintage-glamour-obsessed around these parts; we’ll use any excuse to ooh and ahh over beautiful gems and jewels. This month’s excuse? Well, it’s this month! (July) which means it’s time to celebrate ruby art deco jewelry! Shouldn’t be hard to do, with stunners like these… Um, yes, I will take …
Well, I recently realized there’s one important (some might say vital!) wedding day accessory I’ve yet to post about on the site. We’ve done multiple ring posts, with beautiful vintage style engagement rings and oh so pretty art deco 1920s cocktail rings… but it would appear we haven’t addressed the one ring to rule them …
This is just… it’s almost unbearable. TOO GORGEOUS. TOO MUCH. I die. Circa 1930s emerald cut aquamarine ring with rubies. Glowing rose gold band, art deco shape, absolute perfection. Full description (and $7650 price tag) available at Lang Antiques.
