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 it, thank you! Oh what’s that? It’s already sold and cost many, many dollars? Probably for the best then, I’ll just dream about it. Likewise with this gorgeous find:
Also sold, also many many dollars, also gorgeous. To be honest, it’s kinda hard to go wrong with a ruby, though. Passionate and elegant and almost always drop-dead gorgeous, especially in a vintage setting.
It’s glass, not ruby, but the art deco vintage setting is 100% authentic, and 100% fabulous. (plus it’s a bit more reasonably priced for the non-millionaires among us). Here’s another Etsy steal, this one a verneuil ruby in a lovely vintage setting, circa 1920s/30s:

Finding true vintage art deco pieces is always a treat, but finding well-designed 1920’s style jewelry is also nice (and much, much budget-friendlier). This Kenneth Jay Lane art deco oversized ring is a lovely modern take on a classic style. Architectural details, with an emerald green crystal at the center. (via ShopBop)
Those of us born in December may have to battle the holiday season for a little bday attention of our own, but at least we’re lucky enough to have not one, not two, but three “official” birthstones: Zircon, Turquoise and Tanzanite. All three are various shades of blue (ideal for brides in the market for their …
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and this gorgeous art deco feather fascinator can be your something… Something Blue No 2 Fascinator from Lo Boheme. A little deco, a little nouveau, all gorgeous.
Not all of us are blessed with a treasure trove of beautiful heirloom jewelry, passed down to us from our fabulously wealthy and stylish great-grandmothers. Not everyone can just reach into their closet and pull out the perfect true vintage art deco brooch, or flapper pearls to make the outfit sing. What’s a vintage-loving girl …
