(July) which means it’s time to celebrate ruby art deco jewelry! Shouldn’t be hard to do, with stunners like these…

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)
