This is a Georgian-era belt buckle, dating back to the late 1700s to early 1800s, possibly of French origin. The buckle is crafted from steel, a material that was commonly used in jewelry during this period due to its durability and ability to hold intricate designs. It features an oval-shaped design adorned with numerous small, faceted, riveted steel jewels that reflect light beautifully, giving it a striking, shimmering effect.

The symmetrical arrangement of the faceted jewels showcases the craftsmanship of the Georgian period. The buckle includes a horizontal bar and prongs in the center for securing it to a belt or dress sash. This piece is a fine example of Georgian-era steel jewelry, blending practicality with ornate decorative elements.

    Scrimshaw,is the name for the style of jewellery that are made of the decoration of bone or ivory objects, such as whale's teeth or walrus tusks, with fanciful designs.
