A pristine Victorian-era ring displaying the motif of a double buckle, accented with rubies and pearls. The ring is fashioned in 15 karat gold, and hallmarked from Birmingham, England, with a year date of 1874. This piece is in fabulous condition with the glowy luster of high karat old gold.

The buckle was a frequent motif in Victorian jewelry design, and like virtually all fashions of this era, rife with symbolism. Buckles denoted unbreakable bonds and connections. They were often given as gifts, representing an attachment between the giver and receiver. They were also used as memorial and mourning jewelry, symbolizing a link between the deceased and their loved ones.

This beautiful jewel would make a wonderful gift to a beloved, promising to encircle them in secure, everlasting love and affection.
