This Austro-Hungarian choker buckle originates from around 1900 and functions as an item of jewellery. The circular openwork frame consists of silver gilt and holds round turquoise cabochons arranged along the perimeter in a decorative border. The hardware includes a central double prong mechanism positioned across the middle of the oval frame. The colours present are bright turquoise against the yellow gold tone of the gilt and the darker vertical bars of the clasp mechanism. The object has a diameter of 1.5 cm high by 1.5 cm wide with a depth of 0.7 cm. In a modern home, collectors wear or display such small historical accessories. The petite size suggests use with a ribbon or lace band for around the neck, serving as a decorative fastening on a special outfit. The reverse shows internal vertical support bars and the double prong closure system visible behind the main ring. The metal components show standard surface texture with no visible breaks, dents or losses to the stones set around the outer edge. The item integrates into a personal collection of antique jewellery or costume accessories.

FAQs

During the nineteenth century, choker buckles were designed to secure ribbon or velvet bands tightly around the neck, serving as functional yet decorative focal points in high fashion.

Austrian craftspeople frequently utilised sterling or solid silver coated in a layer of gold, known as silver gilt or vermeil, often set with natural turquoise cabochons, garnets, or seed pearls.

Authentic pieces generally display official Austrian hallmark stamps indicating silver purity and regional origin, along with hand-set stone mountings and light, uneven surface wear to the gold layer.

These historic buckles can be threaded onto modern velvet or silk ribbons as neckwear, styled on slender leather waist belts, or converted by a jeweller into a slide pendant.

Because turquoise is a porous stone, avoid immersion in water or chemical cleaning agents; gently wipe the silver gilt surfaces with a soft microfibre polishing cloth to preserve the finish.
