Let’s reflect on the emerald cut diamond for a minute. Its mirror-like facets and regal stature. Its celebrity following—I mean, J. Lo, Beyoncé, Amal Clooney, that’s a bridal party we want to be a part of. Did we mention its understated elegance? All seems like a pretty good pro list right? So, then, what could possibly be the cons?

Bold women. Artistic rebellion. Over-the-top parties. It’s no wonder we keep revisiting the Art Deco trend. I mean, who doesn’t want to glam it up like The Great Gatsby himself? We here at Frank Darling officially declare 2020 as the year of the Art Deco engagement ring, and we should know, we’ve been making gobs of them.
