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 12 men through a belt. According to Homer, all the delights and allurements of love were woven into Aphrodite's belt (Illiad 16, 215) and so this special piece of clothing was given more importance than others. Here, too, we see a belt that is charged with meaning: a wide belt of warm, high-carat yellow gold nestles around the finger, held in place by a buckle with a spike. Two old-cut diamonds in star-shaped settings form the holes in the belt. The belt motif has been used by goldsmiths in jewelry design for centuries. It was particularly popular in Victorian England, where gold and silver belt rings were worn as an expression of friendship and a pledge of love. In the language of jewelry, the belt ring symbolizes the indissoluble bond between two people. The ring is beautifully preserved and its interior reveals that it was made in 1925 by the London goldsmith W. Wilkinson. The ring from the reign of George V is a classic men's ring, but can of course also be worn by ladies. To this day, it is a witty piece of jewellery for the finger whose deep symbolism transcends the ages.
