Gold-and-ruby buckle, ornate and intact. 19.61 grams, about 1-1/2" x 1". At first this looks modern because of polishing and the addition of a clasp in the back, but the crude cuts and settings for each of the 20 small rubies (somewhat light in color but all very clear) attest to this piece's origin, in addition to its known pedigree. Pedigreed to the Bill Wyatt collection.Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
