Vintage Buckle or Garter Band Ring 14K Yellow Gold
Discover the historical elegance of this vintage ring, crafted in fine 14K gold, featuring a striking buckle or garter design with intricate detailing. Traditionally, buckle designs were worn by the Order of the Garter, the most senior order of knighthood, which symbolized loyalty, fidelity, and protection—qualities that inspired the creation of highly symbolic jewelry. Queen Victoria famously donned a buckle ring to honor her royal association, while for everyday citizens, buckles represented strength and devotion. Additionally, buckle rings and bracelets are often seen as symbols of eternity, as the band curves around and threads back into itself. This exquisite piece weighs 3.9 grams and is a size 8. Measuring 1/2″ wide from knuckle to knuckle and standing 3/8″ off the finger, it is in excellent condition with minimal wear, marked with a 14K hallmark and Italy B maker’s mark.
