{"product_id":"victorian-gold-antique-buckle-ring-9196","title":"Joseph Mayer \u0026 Bros.Victorian 14k Yellow Gold Antique Buckle Ring, American","description":"\u003cp\u003eVictorian antique buckle ring crafted in 14k yellow gold, featuring a wide flat band secured by an intricately detailed buckle. The keeper is adorned with richly textured detailing, creating contrast against the smooth surfaces of the band. The design lays comfortably low on the finger while making a bold statement. The interior of the band retains the original \"Jos. Mayer \u0026amp; Bros.\" maker's mark, identifying it as the work of one of America's respected early jewelry manufacturers. Founded in Brooklyn in 1888, Jos. Mayer \u0026amp; Bros. became known for producing finely crafted gold and platinum jewelry during the early 20th century. Buckle motifs became especially popular during the Victorian era. Inspired by the notion of two lives being \"bound\" together, they were exchanged as romantic gifts, wedding bands, friendship tokens, and mourning jewelry, each carrying deeply personal meaning for its wearer. Queen Victoria's own appreciation for sentimental jewelry helped popularize the buckle motif, cementing its place as one of the defining symbols of nineteenth-century jewelry design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem 9196\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal: 14k gold\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: 8.6 - 14.2 mm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarkings: Mayer \u0026amp; Bros., Jos. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Victorian, c. 1890\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing size: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer free shipping.
