This is my birthstone and I've been on the hunt for an Art Deco one for a while. The problem with this and most of the estate pieces I've found is color. This is way too pale. It needs to be a bit deeper and have a touch of green. But I love that setting...
I actually had my engagement ring made and it took us months to get the colour that I wanted. If you are wanting a darker coloured stone try finding stones from Africa they seem to have the darker stones with the blue/green colour that I love. I love my ring and it means even more because he and I designed it together. I dealt with a gemologist (excuse the spelling please) and a jewelery designer to get exactly the ring that we wanted. That may be an option for you unless you really want an estate piece from that Era.
