Buckles symbolise binding love between the giver and the receiver, they also represent loyalty and enduring memory. They were made popular by Queen Victoria, who is known to have worn a buckle ring. Orange blossoms are also symbolic in jewellery as the flower of love, representing chastity, innocence and love.
The ring is a UK size M/US size 6, although it wears half a size smaller due to the thickness of the band. The ring weighs 4g. The band is 6mm deep.
Please note that this is an antique piece of jewellery and as such has some minor signs of wear. There is a sizing line on the inside of the ring. The chased design on the outside of the ring is uninterrupted by this ring sizing.
