Art Deco ring design

These artist sketches leave me pining for the Art Deco designs of yore. Just look at the rings! Oh what I would give to travel back in time and visit a jewelry counter. I love the intense structure of the settings and the strong, confident lines. This ring I just listed in the shop looks like it was created using one of these designs.
