She lugged her suitcase up six flights of narrow Parisian hotel stairs to find that she had grabbed somebody else’s suitcase. In her evening gown and timeless accessories, she went back down the stairs to find a lady yelling at the manager about a thief. She calmed the woman with her smile and her charm and then drug her own suitcase up the winding stairs, deciding she was done working out for the next two months. She opened her belongings to make sure everything was where it should be. She unzipped a hidden compartment and pulled out her favorite treasure, a pretty ring with shine for days. She slipped it on her finger and back down the staircase she dashed, making her way to a dinner date she was almost too excited for.

The buckle was a common motif in Victorian jewelry as it symbolized eternity. The idea of one end being threaded into the other, creating a never-ending circle, was a powerful justification of its meaning. When worn, or gifted, it represented the beautiful ideas of unending love, fidelity, and strength. This wonderful piece of Victorian tradition is smothered with romantic symbolism. The buckle was popularized by Queen Victoria, and the design carried over into the Edwardian Era. Today, it remains as a timeless motif of romance.

This antique Edwardian ruby and diamond gold buckle ring was handcrafted in Chester, England, in 1908. It bears an engraved buckle motif with two dark pink rubies and a beautiful diamond, set in 18 karat gold. The Old European cut diamond measures 1.5 mm in diameter and .8 mm in depth, weighing approximately .01 carats. Both of the round rubies measure 2 x 2 x 1.2 mm and together weigh a total of approximately .08 carats. The ring face measures 6.5 x 18 x 2.7 mm off the finger with a band width of 5 mm at the back and is a size 8.25. This buckle ring has been fully hallmarked. It bears the crown mark for England, the gold purity mark, “18”, the wheat sheaves mark for Chester, and the date letter, “H”.

The buckle motif dates to the sixteenth century when it was often called a ‘garter’. The buckle signifies the unbreakable strength of loyal virtue and memory forever. Sometimes, it’s seen as a motif on memorial jewelry.
