The buckle ring, an emblem of loyalty and steadfast love, was one of the most cherished Victorian and Edwardian motifs. This example, from 1914, feels both strong and sentimental: two old-cut diamonds are set into engraved starbursts, their sparkle caught between the soft gleam of gold and the bold form of the buckle itself. It’s a design that suggests constancy and devotion, a promise carried into the modern age with grace.
Handcrafted in 18 karat gold, this ring is fully hallmarked with the crown, “18”, anchor for Birmingham, and “P” for 1914, along with the maker’s mark "H W Ld." The two diamonds measure 3.4 × 3.4 × 1.4 mm each, totaling .20 carats. The face of the ring measures 11.2 mm north to south and 19 mm across, rising 2.7 mm off the finger, with a 7.3 mm band width. It weighs 7 grams and fits a US size 5.75.
A shining keepsake from the final years of the Edwardian era, it is strong, symbolic, and richly romantic.
