HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BETANCOURT BUCKLE

The Betancourt buckle stands out as an exceptionally attractive and impeccably crafted piece of jewelry. Its design, seemingly resembling a floating mine or bomb, holds symbolic meaning for individuals crossing the Atlantic during World War II, evoking a poignant reminder of the era's challenges and resilience. Interestingly, the design bears semblance to another significant piece created by Hubert Harmon, believed to represent the "Russian Sputnik," the first man-made satellite launched into orbit in 1957, a milestone in human history.

​

While the creation of the Betancourt buckle predates the era of the Russian Sputnik, its historical significance is undeniable, capturing the essence of a tumultuous period with artistic flair. Beyond its historical connotations, this buckle exudes beauty and power, transcending its symbolic origins to stand as a testament to craftsmanship and design excellence.
