Art Deco Cabinet Knobs

Art Deco cabinet knobs are a wonderful way to show grace and detail in the kitchen. The Art Deco movement, popularized in the late 1920's and early 1930's, was characterized by streamlined architecture and precise geometric patterns. Frank Lloyd Wright later extended the movement and incorporated colors and other geometric patterns.

Art Deco doorknobs, push plates and kitchen cabinet knobs are timeless and are a welcome addition to any home. This movement and style exemplify simplicity and beauty. Art Deco knobs and pulls are typically found in cast iron, bronze, antique brass and polished chrome with the most famous Art Deco structures found in Chrome with Brass Accents. While the geometric shapes are now found in many colors, the originals were simpler and always found in cast brass, bronze or chrome.

Custom Jewelers in Texas?

My boyfriend and I have been looking at engagement rings. We're pretty specific about what we want: a diamond and sapphire ring with pretty extensive filigree work in the Art Deco style. And honestly most of the diamond and sapphire rings we've seen in stores are just flat ugly. So, we're beginning to think that most mass made rings just aren't for us, even the vintage inspired ones. He doesn't like the thought of estate jewelry. So, we've opted to create one. Our budget on both the engagement and wedding ring is about 14k. Can anyone recommend a jeweler in Texas who can do this type of work? I'm especially thinking about the filigree as it seems pretty complicated.

Thanks.
Thanks for the links, but I've seen them all before. I have spent hours upon hours online-- This is why I hope someone knows something that I've missed.
