The bezel takes the form of a belt buckle. The buckle frame is formed from a separate piece of silver, bent into a curve and soldered to the front of the hoop.

A Post Medieval to Modern copper alloy Stanhope or Stanho-scope finger ring incorporating a Bijoux Photomicroscopique dating from AD 1860-1950.
