A buckle with a strikingly similar diamond face to the present lot was sold in these Rooms, 23 September 2005, lot 98. The original function of the present lot as a piece of jewellery is somewhat unclear. However, an example sold in these Rooms, 24 September 2003, lot 106, has later composite fittings which suggests that it was worn as a bracelet. Though both of the examples mentioned above have a reverse of red and gold enamel, a similar piece with a blue and green reverse was sold in these Rooms, 12 June 2014, lot 28.
