The Rétro era, which spans roughly from the 1940s to the 1950s, marks a major stylistic turning point in the history of jewelry. Influenced by the post-war context, this period saw the birth of bold, sculptural jewelry. A reaction to the restrictions and sobriety of previous years. Retro rings, in particular, are distinguished by their generous volumes and rounded geometric shapes. Old-cut diamonds, colored stones and spiral or ribbon compositions are emblematic elements of this style. Both elegant and expressive, the creations of this era celebrate a return to femininity, freedom and refinement.

Iconic houses such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Boucheron are also driving this creative revival. They create pieces that are both technical and artistic. The retro ring becomes a symbol of strength and optimism, proudly worn by a modern woman who asserts her style. Today, these vintage jewels seduce with their uniqueness, craftsmanship and evocative power.
