These will always be in vogue! Presenting a chunky vintage unisex hallmarked sterling silver belt buckle ring, crafted by the esteemed Gourdel Vales & Co. of Birmingham circa 1975, and fully hallmarked with the traditional British assay marks denoting its authenticity, maker, and date letter.
The design is both bold and sentimental — the buckle motif has long been cherished in Victorian and later jewelry for its symbolism of loyalty, strength, and eternal love. Much like a belt binding two ends together, the buckle signifies the unbreakable bond between giver and wearer — whether of friendship, faith, or affection. It was a popular motif among late-Victorian and Edwardian lovers and continued to inspire jewelry designs throughout the 20th century, representing security, steadfastness, and eternity.
This particular piece embodies that spirit with its thick, sculptural band, detailed buckle clasp design, and crisp silver finish that exudes a timeless appeal. It’s unisex and effortlessly stylish — equally striking on masculine or feminine hands.
Comparable hallmarked examples from renowned silversmiths like Gourdel Vales & Co. routinely achieve prices well over £150 (R3,400+) on the secondary market, celebrated for their craftsmanship and enduring sentimentality.
