Art Deco

Classic

Classic rings share many characteristics with Traditional style rings/bands, but additionally include Delicate Solitaire as well Delicate rings that have a thin shank and with side set stones.

Estate

Estate style jewelry is noted for being on the flashier side: ornately designed necklaces or rings filled with diamonds fall under this category. One may even find brooches in the shapes of various plants that also have diamonds included in them.

Vintage
