Oozing Victorian sentiment and character this antique belt & buckle bangle is solidly crafted in sterling silver and fully hallmarked for the year 1882. The belt's infinite loop and secure buckle was a popular symbol of eternal love and commitment in the Victorian era.
Crafted on the oval this is a quality piece. The large belt and buckle along the front is fashioned in bold dimensional detail and accented in silver beads. The bangle has rolled edges along the top and bottom for added strength and comfort, it is hinged on one side and has a secure box clasp on the other.
A gorgeous Victorian silver cuff bracelet and a meaningful token of love and affection.
