Original antique twist engagement ring set with three old cut diamonds weighing approximately 0.70ct all in typical 1920's platinum illusion settings. The platinum twist is sat atop an 18 carat yellow gold shank stamped 18CT PLAT. UK finger size 'N'.
Dating to the 1920s, this elegant old cut three-stone ring beautifully reflects the craftsmanship and refined proportions of the early twentieth century. Expertly set in 18 carat gold and platinum, the design combines warmth and strength — a hallmark of antique rings from this period.
At its centre, three old cut diamonds are arranged in a graceful twist setting, creating a sense of movement and balance across the finger. Old cut diamonds are treasured for their soft, romantic brilliance and hand-cut individuality. Unlike modern stones, their broader facets and unique proportions produce a gentle, characterful sparkle that speaks to a different era of jewellery making.
The three-stone design is rich in symbolism, traditionally representing past, present and future making this ring a meaningful choice as an engagement ring or anniversary piece. The subtle twist detail adds refinement and distinction, elevating the classic trilogy style with period charm.
The use of platinum for the setting enhances durability while allowing the diamonds to appear bright and crisp, while the 18 carat gold band provides warmth and contrast. This thoughtful combination of precious metals was typical of fine jewellery from the 1920s and remains highly desirable today.
A timeless antique piece with enduring appeal, this ring offers both historical character and elegant wearability. It can be viewed at our Hatton Garden showroom and may be professionally resized if required.
