About Buckle Symbolism in Jewelry: Buckle design is a classic element in jewelry making. It’s dated as far as the early 1800’s. Perhaps the trend was started by Queen Victoria who was wearing her buckle ring as sign of the Order of the Garter membership. The symbol of the order featured a buckle belt. Also, buckles are designed to connect and fasten things together, making them symbolic of connection. In jewelry it can represent the bond between two people. For bracelets or rings it may be interpreted as a token of commitment or friendship. Belts are often associated with security due to their ability to hold items in place. In jewelry, it’s particularly reflected in designs like chokers where buckles serve both functional and decorative purposes. They can represent personal strength and self-assurance. In some cultures, buckles are seen as protective symbols. The idea is that a buckle can "lock" or "seal" something. In jewelry, buckles might be incorporated into designs to symbolize guarding against negative influences. The symbolism of buckles in jewelry design can vary based on individual preferences. It reflects the wearer's intentions and the context in which it’s worn. About Gübelin Jewelry: Six generations of the family-owned jewelry business and counting.
