Antique gold and diamond buckle motif locket

Antique gold and diamond buckle motif locket

An antique oval gold locket with diamond-accented belt buckle motif and two interior compartments, in 15k. England
(Chain not included.)

The belt buckle or garter has long been a symbol of loyalty/strength/an unbreakable bond, especially given its association with the Order of the Garter, the oldest and preeminent British order of chivalry. Considering the Victorian predilection for sentimental jewelry, the buckle is a fitting decorative motif for a locket meant to hold memorabilia of a loved one.
