Victorian Buckle Ring | 18K Gold & Old European Cut Diamond Ring | London, 191
Buckle rings have long been cherished for their symbolism, representing an unbreakable bond, strength, and fidelity. This original 18K gold example was crafted in London in 1916 and beautifully captures the clean, sculptural lines that have made buckle rings a lasting favorite for generations.

Fully hallmarked and weighing an impressive 5.8 grams, it has a substantial feel while remaining exceptionally comfortable for everyday wear.
