Hallmarked in the historic assay office of Birmingham, England, circa 1909, this rich 18k yellow gold piece beautifully showcases the sentimentalism of Edwardian design. In the language of antique jewelry, the buckle motif represents fidelity, protection, and an unbreakable bond. During the late 1910s, pieces like this were highly prized as "sweetheart" tokens, deeply personal gifts exchanged between loved ones. Flanking the central band are two hand-set antique diamonds nestled within beautifully carved starburst gypsy settings, traditional symbols of hope, eternity, and guidance.
