A miniature belt buckle set in pavé rhinestones sits across a wide brushed gold band — the kind of trompe-l'oeil detail that made 1970s novelty jewelry genuinely witty. The buckle motif has a long history in fashion, appearing in everything from equestrian accessories to haute couture, and Avon translated it here with surprising precision. The brushed texture of the band plays well against the sparkle of the stones, and the ring has a confident, slightly androgynous quality that feels current.
