Antique Enamel Buckle Pendant of 14k Gold

Rich in symbolism and sentiment, this Victorian-era photo locket (circa 1870–1900) is crafted in 14k gold and adorned with a vivid blue enamel belt motif — a design representing eternity, fidelity, and loyalty. The buckle motif was a beloved emblem in 19th-century jewelry, symbolizing the unbreakable bond between giver and wearer.

The reverse of the locket features a glass compartment containing an original photograph of a soldier in uniform, offering a poignant glimpse into its personal history. The glass shows some surface wear, and the photo cannot easily be removed, preserving the piece’s authenticity and charm.

The locket measures approximately 1.1 inches from top to bottom by 0.75 inches wide, and it remains in good antique condition, with fine detailing and richly colored enamel beautifully preserved.

For assurance of authenticity and quality, the gold has been professionally tested using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming its 14k purity.

A touching memento of love and remembrance, this Victorian belt motif locket is both a meaningful piece of history and a timeless adornment — perfect for collectors of sentimental or military-themed antique jewelry.
