buckles!

[jenthompson]

I got my jeweled buckles in the mail yesterday, and they are gorgeous! I am guessing that they are Victorian instead of Georgan buckles... but that is probably a good thing because I would be too nervous to wear them if they were the real deal. Anyway, they are definitely silver and high quality, but I don't think the stones have the black spots that they are supposed to have if they were really old. (I'm still not exactly sure what I should be looking for with that one, but I'm assuming it would be fairly obvious if it was there.)

Here's a picture of the buckles with my fabric for the dress and shoes. I am beyond thrilled. :)

Great find!

Jen, sorry to disagree, but I think you have the real deal - I can see the black spot at the bottom of a stone or two. Look at the picture - the one immediately below and to the left of the bar has a black spot at the bottom in my opinion. Turn it over in your head, and it would be the point of the stone.

P.S. they don't look curved enough for shoe buckles though - might be knee buckles? They are beautiful - wear them with pleasure - do.

They are fantastic, and you got them for a steal!

ps I love the little picture of E that pops up on the side when you enlarge the picture.
