{"product_id":"vintage-18ct-yellow-gold-15ct-diamond-twist-ring","title":"Vintage 18ct Yellow Gold .15ct Old-Cut Diamond Twist Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1920s ring is a lovely example of Edwardian-influenced design carried into the early Art Deco period, set with old mine cut diamonds totalling .15ct in a graceful setting that curves into a subtle twist across the finger. Old mine cut diamonds are a hallmark of hand-cutting traditions that predate modern machinery, recognisable by their cushion-like, squared-off outline with rounded corners, small table and high crown, all shaped to maximise sparkle under the candlelight and gas lamps of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edges are finished with millgraining, a signature Edwardian technique that softens the diamonds' sparkle and gives the setting its characteristic frosted, lace-like finish. This detail, paired with the fluid twist of the band, reflects the graceful, garland-inspired aesthetic that defined Edwardian jewellery even as tastes were beginning to shift toward the bolder geometry of the Art Deco period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring retains its original carat weight and maker's stamp inside the band, a valuable detail for collectors, as it confirms the piece's gold content and origin rather than relying on later re-marking. Worn today, its warm 18ct yellow gold setting and softly glinting old mine cut diamonds give it a romantic, distinctly antique character that modern brilliant-cut stones simply can't replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal Diamond Weight: .15ct\u003cbr\u003eColour: G-I\u003cbr\u003eClarity: VS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: K 1\/2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is an estate item and comes with a one year guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44616981774424,"sku":"001-14042","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1319\/9109\/files\/001-14042_VINTAGE_SP.jpg?v=1787001934","url":"https:\/\/walkerandhall.co.nz\/products\/vintage-18ct-yellow-gold-15ct-diamond-twist-ring","provider":"Walker \u0026 Hall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
