A Georgian (1780-1820) belt/shoe buckle created in the form of a curved oval and set with 44 graduated faceted black-dot* diamond paste stones in silver, and steel moving parts. The buckle measures 1 ¾” overall, 1 ¾” at the widest point. May also be worn on a ribbon at the neck or wrist by removing the moving parts.

*The "black-spot/black-dot" pastes are so named because jewelers in the 1700's, and earlier, would sometimes rub a spot (or dot) of black, pitch-like paint across the flat cut or pointed bottom of the culet (under) of some faceted paste stones. It was often used to create the look of mine cut or European cut diamonds or gemstones when the stone was viewed from the top (or table).
