Circa 1907, a lovely late-Victorian bangle, lightly rendered in gleaming 9k yellow gold and masterfully engraved featuring the time-honoured buckle motif, which originates from the British Order of the Garter. This comes courtesy of Antique Jewellery University (AJU): A popular motif for bracelets, rings and brooches throughout the Georgian and Victorian era paid homage to the Order of the Garter. Styled after the garters worn by the prestigious recipients of this oldest of British chivalry awards, the motif appeared as the surround for brooches and as central design elements for rings and bracelets. Buckles were prominently featured as a result of their functional as well as decorative role in jewellery design.
