The Art Deco Movement: A Brief History

Born in Paris in the 1920s and reaching its zenith by the early 1930s, Art Deco was a response to the ornate excess of Art Nouveau. Clean lines, bold geometric symmetry, contrasting colours, and a fascination with exotic materials defined the movement. In jewellery, Art Deco translated into platinum settings, step-cut gemstones, and striking graphic compositions.

A century later, that aesthetic feels more relevant than ever — and Firuzeh Jaipur has made it unmistakably Indian.

What Defines Art Deco Jewellery?

•       Strong geometric shapes: hexagons, circles, triangles, and step patterns

•       Colour contrast: typically pale stones (diamonds, aquamarine) against deep-hued gems (sapphire, onyx, emerald)

•       Symmetry — almost always perfectly balanced compositions

•       Mixed materials: gold and silver used together, often with enamel accents

Firuzeh's Art Deco collection draws directly from 1920s Paris, filtered through the master craftsmen of Jaipur. The results are striking pieces that feel both archival and current.

Firuzeh's Art Deco Highlights

The Aquamarine Ruby Diamond Halo Ring is a masterclass in Art Deco tension — the cool aquamarine centre stone contrasted against a halo of warm ruby accents. The Tourmaline Aquamarine Diamond Halo Ring plays with multi-tonal greens and blues, referencing the period's love of vivid colour contrast. The Aquamarine Kyanite Diamond Trio Ring is perhaps the purest Art Deco expression in the collection — three stones, perfect symmetry, extraordinary presence.
