In many ancient myths, a belt protects its wearer and endows them with magical abilities. The Germanic god of thunder Thor, for example, had a belt of strength that doubled his power, and the dwarf king Laurin also gained the strength of twelve men through a belt. According to Homer, all the delights and allurements of love were woven into Aphrodite's belt (Iliad 16, 215). Apparently, this special piece of clothing was always given more importance than other items of clothing. But a belt made of solid gold? That would probably be far too heavy. But a small gold belt for the ring finger? That works! That's probably what the goldsmith of this ring from the late Victorian era thought. He may also have been thinking about the allure of love or the power of twelve men - or perhaps magic. Crafted from high-carat gold, we see a pretty belt buckle and the wide band of a belt. Crafted by hand, the ring surprises with a beautiful old-cut diamond in its center, which sparkles in an expressive star setting and symbolically charges the piece of jewelry even further: After all, the diamond is both the stone of love and of eternity. The result is a real eye-catcher that you can look at with a twinkle in your eye - perhaps the ring will soon find a new place on a hand that will show it off to its best advantage? Who knows what powers it might bestow on its wearer...?
