Johns Ltd. during the earlier days of Walmart in the late 20th century. It is beautifully made from solid 14k yellow gold—not hollow—with the substantial construction and weight of a quality signet ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide front features a recessed rectangular panel with WAL-MART spelled out in tall, raised gold letters against a darkened background. At the center is a small round natural diamond, an unexpectedly luxurious detail that makes this already unusual piece even more fun. The diamond is bright, sparkly, and eye-clean, with inclusions visible under magnification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring has a classic signet-style profile, with a broad face that tapers slightly toward the back. Its large scale makes it equally suitable for a man or woman. We also think it would make an amazing conversation-piece pendant slipped onto a substantial gold chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd rare really does seem to be the word here. We have never encountered another one on eBay or Etsy, and our initial searching turned up no comparable solid-gold Walmart rings—much less one set with a diamond. Whether this was an executive piece, an employee award, or made for another purpose, we don't know, which only adds to the intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring has been worn and shows scuffs and light scratches to the gold, along with several tiny flea-bite dings along the tops of the letters in “WAL.” Please examine our magnified photographs for the best view of its condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuirky, luxurious, and wonderfully unexpected—a solid gold and diamond piece of American retail history that you are very unlikely to see again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003e* \u003cem\u003eNote\u003c\/em\u003e: The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)  \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDetails:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMetal:  10k yellow gold \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eStamp:  \"10k\" + \"R Johns Ltd\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGemstones: Natural Diamonds \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDiamond size:  mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHeight:   mm = inches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWeight: 7.38  grams\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRing size:  11 (easily sizable by your jeweler)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\"\u003eThanks for shopping with us today.  We appreciate your business!  Please bid with confidence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003eBest wishes,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eJeannie \u0026amp; Trevor\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\" size=\"4\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eSea Green Mermaid\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sea Green Mermaid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45500580724759,"sku":"A249","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0250\/5536\/3106\/files\/IMG_9501-watermarked-bottom-left.png?v=1790353542","url":"https:\/\/seagreenmermaid.com\/products\/10k-gold-gypsy-set-diamonds-wide-ruler-ring-crafter-builder-quilter-copy","provider":"Sea Green Mermaid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
