Since ancient times, the belt has been regarded as a special symbol, far more than just a practical item of clothing. In myths and legends, it gave its wearer protection and supernatural powers: the Germanic god of thunder Thor had a power belt that doubled his strength, and the dwarf king Laurin gained the strength of twelve men through his belt. Even Homer reports that all the delights and temptations of love are interwoven in Aphrodite's belt - a promise of power, lust and magic, captured in a single accessory. This symbolism also lives on in this ring. It features a fine belt made from warm, shiny yellow gold with a silver clasp. This buckle forms the centerpiece: it is set with rubies and diamonds and reminds us that jewellery has always been more than mere adornment - it could carry meaning, keep promises and tell stories. Here, rubies tell of love and diamonds of eternity. Belt rings were particularly popular in England during the Victorian era. They were seen as an expression of friendship or as a pledge of love, and they symbolized the indissoluble bond between two people. This ring is based on a model from the Victorian era. However, the details of its workmanship reveal that it was created more recently. We discovered the ring in London.
