A beautifully made Victorian buckle ring, made in England in 1876 and set in rich 15ct gold, a gold purity unique to the 19th and early 20th centuries.

This piece features a deeply symbolic buckle motif, representing loyalty, strength, and eternal connection, a popular sentiment in the Victorian era, especially in rings exchanged as tokens of love or remembrance.

What sets this ring apart is the diamond-set belt notch, a small but meaningful detail where a bright old cut diamond is set directly into the fastening point of the buckle, giving the ring both symbolic and literal sparkle.

The engraved ridges beneath the clasp create texture and depth, echoing the softness of worn leather and adding a tactile elegance to the design.

Fully hallmarked with a rare Chester assay mark and a date letter for 1876, this ring carries not only visual charm but also historical provenance.

It remains a beautiful wearable, and meaningful piece from one of the most sentiment-driven periods in jewellery history.
