♫ Diamonds are forever ♫
Mode just released a video chronicling a century's worth of the most popular engagement ring styles by decade.
Peter Jon Shemonsky Fine Antique and Estate Jewelry provided the rings for the precious (pun intended) video.
In the 1910s, a simple solitaire diamond set in a yellow gold band was very European and very fashionable.

But the Roaring '20s meant a rise in striking, Edwardian-style jewelry.
This ring has a lace motif that was popular at the time.

The 1930s saw glamorous, intricate art deco themes in both architecture and rings.
Nothing to be depressed about here. Sorry.
