The peace buckle takes its shape from an ancient form, a solid disc pierced at the center, cool nephrite bordered here by a gold band inlaid with scrollwork and four small medallions in red enamel.

The peace buckle, or pingan kou, is worn in Chinese tradition as a quiet wish for safety and calm, its round, unbroken form a symbol of wholeness. The gold border adds a second layer of intention, scrollwork and characters that carry their own weight of fortune, wrapped around the stone rather than set into it.
